    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.

  • Eyal Nahmias replied

    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….

    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.

  • Eyal Nahmias replied

    thanks Jan, yes, I think I agree with your assessment of dinner, she was just announcing that they have a guest for dinner too. :-)

    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.
