whiskers

Ohau Point, Kaikoura Coast, South Island

the best advice is to stay well back from the larger coastal wildlife...but this fur seal was enjoying the sunshine and did not seem to object to me slowly coming very close...there was however a large rock between us...and a clear escape route if required..

Nikon D80
Nikkor 18-200mm - 1/180s f/6.7 at 120.0mm iso160 full exif

Very nice detail and colors on this resting seal. You can get close to them if you move slowly. "V"

You mean he could have attacked you? I thought it was him to escape :) Great capture, lovely light on the whiskers, V
