Here Is Looking At You John Drouilhet
JUDGE’S COMMENT The natural world is so unpredicable that one has to appreciate the split-second timing, patience, and hair-trigger focus it must have taken to get this shot. The symmetry in the seal's head, the tack-sharp whiskers, the wake it leaves behind, and the eye contact it makes through the soft drizzle. A very nice moment that passed in the blink of an eye.
