I've no idea what to say, other than that he looks absolutely lovely and you've captured him, face and all, as well as I can imagine is possible.

Sorry for taking so long to comment on this :)

Well maybe even sorrier about not really finding anything to say about the shot. It´s nice, above average and I like it. However, not loving it either and well that´s it... Like the clarity of the shot.

What a sensational bird photo - you know we see SO MANY on here and often they're a complete yawn, but this one ROCKS! What a magic capture - and beautifully presented. You should be very pleased.

Well noraneko, I already commented on this image, so I am going to keep it short (they should implement a skip button).

Let's see:

Composition: Great rule of thirds going on here. The Seal makes a wonderful edge line that makes your eyes move further to the left. The angle of the shot is a plus, it almost gives the seal that "high and mighty" atmosphere which is further exponded on by the closed eyes. The sidelighting really helps this image.

Technicals: Not much to complain about, already stated what I thought below.

Overall: Stunning photo as I mentioned before. Maybe a slight change in title, "King of My Hill", etc... Though there is nothing wrong with the one you have, just throwing things out there. A very special photo.

I like how the frame is filled here. Good colors, crisp lines and nothing is overshiny.
