    Not as sharp as I would have liked but a good action shot I think.

    Liked this one and then realised I missed his feet. Ruins it a bit but I still like the clarity in his eyes.

    It was very windy last night. I am terrified of heights and getting closer to the edge was not an option for me. The seals were being fed by visitors and this guy came over to me. I think he thought I had food for him.

    I like #3.

    #1 is a very good capture though.

    In no 1. Someone had thrown the fish to the seals and the birds swooped. It really was a quick press of the button. The shadow under the bird is actually one of the seals. I just wish I had been a bit quicker, one of the first shots I took. Never happened again so no opportunity.

    Thanks for the c&c.

    We must have been there at the same time. I've never seen so many seals in Howth Harbour together. I counted nine.

    Well done. I like all of them ;-)

    Some great images there. A lovely set.

    I especially like the first and last images.

    I was there about 6pm. Lots of seals. I had heard that people come out to feed them but it was the first time I had seen so many. Will have to go out again. (Hopefully not so windy and I will get closer)
