Antarctic Animal Encounters - Fur Seal 6
Blowing bubbles and seeing under water and the surface at the same time

I love this picture, it's so ethereal the way the seal is right there in front of the camera, but also so distant as well. I like the bubbles streaming from the one submerged nostril, the fact that he has a view of above the water and below the water and the abstract nature of the picture. It's just what I'd do if I was a seal.

I was on a rocky ledge at this point around 1.5m above the water while pointing my camera down and following the seal around, Difficult to get a shot as the water was so dark and the seal so fast.
