Grey (Atlantic) Seal
Donna Nook, Lincolnshire.

EOS 10D + Sigma 100-300 + 1.4TC. F5.6.

One of the expectant Grey Seal females enjoying a tide pool on the beach at Donna Nook, Lincolnshire during our trip in November. On this particular day with a frosty start, but warm late morning sun, there were upwards of 100 Seals and pups on the beach at the start of the annual breeding season.

All comments and critiques always welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking.

Very unique pose. The soft light works so well with the smooth lines of the seal and the layered BG.
