new work Antartica

Thanks for looking.

Hi Birte!

I don't think I have ever seen such an impressive - yet so 'cute' image! What a delightful surprise when I firs saw the thumbnail. Fantastic POV and processing, wonderful image for your book.

Always in my thoughts, Gail

An exceptional image, Birte - wonderful light, colour and perspective.

Lovely shot! Warm regards, Ilkka

A really beautiful shot with very nice lighting, Birte!

With best regards,

Ruud.

 

Wonderful image. I find it so touching.

Agree Gail that is an unique shot I saw with this subject,way you composed it with seal in foreground and excellent glacier bg makes this so good,I like seal posture that seems to be asleep and so relaxed.

This photo is a delight,my best regards.

Hi Birte !

Seems comfortable to take a nap on the snow, i'll have to try ! Great picture.

You are a very courageous woman! Very interesting shot from the life of the animals!

 

A marvelous shot that projects the attitude that there are no polar bears within a hundred miles!!

A true gift of nature. Vicente.

Hi Birte! Very beautiful and excellent image!!! Thank you for sharing 7!

Hi Birte,

  Another beautiful capture with amazing colors, details & background. I love this series.  Take care, Patsy

Excellent work! (6)

Beautiful capture!!!

Looks like that seal is relaxing on a balmy beach - excellent shot!

With some images it is love at first sight and this one falls into that category. It is not just any 'old seal' but one that has its 'hands' neatly folded, and apparently sleeping as if it did not have any worries. Then you have a crisp background which 'tells a story' and completes the image. On the technical side, the only thing I would do is straighten the horizon/water line. If by straightening the water line you end up losing part of the seal then just leave it in it's original state.  Congrats on a very fine image.

Birte, This is such a wonderful and pleasing image of this seal. it is interesting how other creatures can often have seemingly human like qualities, like folding its arms/ flippers as though maybe feeling a little cold or just comfortably relaxed and sleeping soundly. Great capture! Sherry

Beautiful and moving image: brava!!! Compliments for this wonderful series and best regards.
