davidx - Apr, 09 2006 06:04am Personally I should prefer it without the human but what a view of that creature's face! jorgesanchez - Apr, 09 2006 06:04am David, all the tourists of the ship were around the seals and it was difficult to avoid them. davidx - Apr, 09 2006 06:04am Never mind. It's still a great face and the point about the human was only a minor one, as you mentioned him in your comments. eirekay - Apr, 09 2006 01:04pm Jorge, how close would these seal let you get? You have some wonderful shots! jorgesanchez - Apr, 09 2006 04:04pm Eire, the seals are not so “naughty” and some let you caress their body for a while if you are careful, but the penguins no, and they can bite you with their long beak at 40 centimetres distance. terje - Apr, 10 2006 02:04am Did he consider you as his daddy after this encounter? :-)
