Wow. The quality of the light is so beautiful this seems surreal. Every detail, every texture is so perfectly captured, from the velvet of the seal's hide to the liquid of the water and the silk of the clouds. I love it!
this is such bull, how and the hell did this not ribbon?? its always the same stupid shots that ribbon.
im seriously furious that this didnt win, no photo like it on DPC
This has a beautiful painting like feel to it. It's fun to see the seals in front and then the beatiful sky in the background. I love how the one seal is posing for you too. Gorgeous reflection in the water as well.
THAT IS AWESOME
sorry for the caps lock
but it is the closest way to express my initial reaction to this photo without giving you a link to an audio clip or a youtube video
Great light on the seals, perhaps with a tighter crop it would be more appealing (to my eye anyway.) I would definately leave out the posts on the RHS and maybe even the barge on the left. The reflections in the water look very nice too.
Oh wow..ths looks like a winner to me! The only thing that bothers me is the bright cloud on the righthand side...other than that, this looks perfect!! Your detail, lighting and subject matter are fabulous.
This is one of the best HDR Tone mapped shots on here, the seals pop out at you, your sail boat masts are as sharp as a tack, good clean colours, warm soft colours on the seals and dramitic sky. Very good indeed, well done for this shot it deserves the 10 i give it
there is so much awesome about this shot but i have a few nits to pick. One, i might be crazy but is the horizon slanted to the left? and 2) the poles on the right are blocking what I would think would be interesting elements behind them. Other than that, the reflections in the water are just great, as is the overall painterly feel of the image, awesome that you got the seal looking at you like that 8
