Here are a few shots from my trip last Sunday to Donna Nook.

Had some good weather, but that walk out the sandbank is a killer!!! although getting back is worse!

Thanks for looking

Is seal wrestling a sanctioned sport?

My favorites in this set are the eye level veiw of the bull coming ashore and the 2nd to last of the light colored seal waving at the camera.

Good comps and light on all of these Mitch; the one in #4 looks quite bruised. Must've gotten into a fight with bigger ones...

The white howdy one is great!

Very nice set Mitch. Top picks are 5, 6 and 7 if my counting is right but perhaps you could number them next time for ease of reference.

Thanks very much for all the comments guys. It was a great experience and hoping to go again in a few weeks if the weather remains suitable.

There were lots of fights going on and a large number of seals had battle wounds. I just made sure I kept my distance. They are surprisingly fast over the sand when they want to be!

I have added numbers now to the original post, thanks Martin forgot that

Some real nice shots here.

I think they could be stronger though if most of them weren't so centered?

Thanks for the feedback Jody, all of the images were straight off the camera apart from image 5 which I cropped by about 20% other than that I just added the borders.

I did use centre point focus and for most of these and AI servo on which is why they are all centered. I certainly could crop them differently, but am not very creative like that
