    Great captures, Andy. clap.gifclapthumb.gif

    My daughter lives in Alaska, and looking at these photos makes me think that it may be worth putting up with all that cold weather. On the other hand, I don't have to worry about freezing to death here in Florida.

    Oh wow.
    I am so incredibly envious! (and I can't wait to see more of these pictures...)

    Love all the shots, but the harbor seal is just special.

    Delivered! 400mm f/5.6 on a Canon 5D Mark II from a moving, pitching boat in pretty rough seas. Fun :D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    That baby seal is a superb capture!!
    C&C always welcome. I can't learn if I don't know what I've done wrong or could do better.

    I like the starfish that stands out from the crowd, too.
