Click on this one to bring in the darker surround and fully appreciate what a great shot it is!

Lovely perspective and sweet detail with techs spot on for this icy scene.

Hi Dale, like the perspective and the angle of the seal, great fun shooting from a zodiac. Although the techs say - no flash, the face has that slight 'pop' to it.
