These pictures were particularly difficult because of the shiny skin, and hard contrast... All of them F 5.6 and ISO 800...




1/200sec




1/200sec


And the lucky shot...



1/125sec


Hope you like them...

Beautiful
my favorite is the first shot, lovely tones.

Great photos Irma - I am partial to #2

Thanks for your comments Schell, Pat...

Great that you liked them...

Very good, with a difficult subject.
Strangely I like the water in #1 round the sea lion.

I really like # 3 , and #1 , very nice shots Irma . I love seals and sea lions . They are neat animals .

Cool looking photos Irma. No shortage of those fellas around here. I also like the third shot. You say Lucky took this? Wow! My dog Brittany can balance a cookie like that too.

Thanks for the comments they are really sweet animals...

Colin, your comment really made me laugh.... I think it is lucky because it was at 1/125sec and it doesn't have camera shake...

I love the facial expression in number 2. Beautiful.

#2 for me - great DOF and expression

Thanks Chris, Toad...

Now that you comment about the expression... This is something that really makes me feel very pleased... when I get a picture of a animal that moves the viewer...
