Good interaction and nice light on the faces. I would suggest going in tighter on this image for several reasons. The tails are barely clipped, better to have all of them or else much less so that it doesn't seem like a mistake. The extra water at the top isn't adding a lot IMO, and the seal in the right corner and the gull are distractions. That said, you really have a nice moment caught here and cropping to emphasize that will make a fine result, IMO.

Cool interaction and nice light on the seals.
A bit wider and the seals higher in the frame would have been nice if possible.

Just a tiny bit more room either side would have included the clipped tails but the interaction is sweet!
