Default A Moment Together
This was cropped because my lens limits at 200mm. I wanted to focus on the main subject. What you guys think? While other seals were pushing each other off the wooden platforms, these two were side by side. I just had to capture the moment.

Default Nice photo!
Hi PMA:
I like the photo!! The crop you made is perfect. And the seals are just jelling “Take me a photo!!!!” Good work! I guess how the photo would be if the third seal on the left wasn’t there! Love the color too!!

pma,

How far away would you guess you were from the seals?

I'm guessing 6 meters away. I can't say for sure though.

pma,

They seemed unconcerned that you were around; it looks as though you were close enough to pet them. Good control, good shot.

Nice shot! I like the diagonal lines. The photo makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I like it. The colours look great and the pose that you've managed to capture them in is great.
