 Taken in the wild, I got about 15 feet from it, it didn't mind me at all. It was the only seal on the beach.

Great photo... here's a perfect example of a well-executed square composition with the point of interest dead center in the frame. The tilt of the seal's head creates a fantastic dynamic for this composition. I had originally voted this shot a 9 but upon further inspection I can't find anything that should keep it from being a 10. Great work :)
