Comment by Bugzeye:
Wow that is pretty close, Seals can get pretty rough. Just curious which Bay you shot this at? I have only seen one very young seal on the rocks along the coast between Houghton Bay and Island Bay luckly I had my camera with me. My next quest is to see the Penguins. I have been told that Breaker Bay early in the morning is the place to go. But I haven't made it down there earlier than 10AM which apparently is too late for the Penguins. I know Red Rocks is a good place for both seals and penguins but kind of difficult to get there. However I do plan to make it down there in the next month or so.

I'm coming to New Zealand this weekend (feb 9th), shots like this really get me excited. Wonderful pattern and color.

Stunning composition. You made some good choices, sometimes the hardest if chock full of exciting possibilities part. What makes this more than a composition/landscape is of course the time/natural lighting and weather, which I would like to see more of in photos (note to self?).

I love this guy and your title. Only minor minor nit is that I am finding the red/magenta hues slightly distracting.

He looks a little oversaturated on my screen, but great capture, and good use of background to show he's in his natural setting.
