How did you do it Eyal – did you whisper sweet seal words in her ear?! She is so beautifully posed and your shot is so crisp. Well done.

Another incredible seal shot, Eyal. She looks like she’s yelling for the kids to come in for supper. Love the crispness and detail you’ve captured, and the tones are very nice.

Thanks Sylvia, I always find it to be a wonderful and most rewarding when I can photograph them,
Eyal Nahmias in reply to Rosalie Dale IPA’s comment, 13 days ago

Thanks Rosalie, No, I didn’t whisper sweet seals in her ear, that would be too dangerous, and I reserved whispering sweet things into my wife’s ears.. :-). I crawl on my belly, and get to at least 4-6 feet away from them and let them know I’m no threat, the rest is history….

Awesome!! I love photographing animals and you have captured this cutey so brilliantly!!

Lol, like your title, it does appear to be saying “stay back!!”. Although I know that seals ARE mammels, but when I look at this I kept help but notice the mammel features; the whiskers, the eyes, the nose coming out… People may mistake this for a land animal if you cropped the image to the face itself; I find it fascinating.
