Eyal, you do Nature an incredible honor by photographing animals up close; so people see the miracles they really are. I think this is how we will be waking people up to the need for Nature around us. I focus on restoring habitats of endangered animals; but the common American don’t get that.They get this! Very well done and thanks for sharing!
Eyal Nahmias

Dave Sanders…,How accurate and true. I thank you for it. I do hope that my work and others will generate more awarness and knowledge, and that it will make people stop destroying the environment and pay more attention. Thank you.

Wonderful capture Eyal-did you take this a ways north of Santa Barbara I saw all the seals a couple of month ago on the way back from Carmel it was awesome.
Eyal Nahmias

Renate, this image and others were taken at the elephant seal reserve in san simeon. There is a separate area closed to visitors that occupies hundreds of them where I can get up close and personal with them
