Day old Seal Pup by

A very inquisitive young pup down on the beach. By lying flat I was able to crawl fairly close to the pup, then by staying still the pup came to me.

Taken at dawn on the North East Coast

    great shot George stunning composition top quality, except the horizon looks a bit skew wiff

  • Thanks Marshall – you’re right (as always) about the horizon, it must have been the tiredness both taking it this morning and trying to post it tonight. Hopefully it looks better now.

    Fantastic shot George, which beach was this?

  • Thanks David it was at Donna Nook, Lincolnshire (I used the term NE loosely – but suprisingly thats how most of the people I spoke to called it – butthey were from London and Norfolk etc.)

    Aye, anywhere past Watford is “up bloody north” LOL

    Fantastic photograph this, reminds me of a little Cocker Spaniel I used to have called Oliver. :-)

    Fantastic shot George. I think the horizon is fine, I think its just the angle of the tide that makes it looked skewed. However even if it wasn’t straight the shot is strong enough for that not to matter : ) [and that’s what uni does for you – you start to use a whole set of other values when you look at images…very liberating.]
    Happy New Year to you .

    Excellent capture and POV. The light and colors blends harmoniously with the pup fur.
