Wildlife/Animals nominee

This image was captured on a fishing trip in Sydney. It was solid swell and winds past the open heads so fishing was to involve a day of lapping the inner headlands and to our surprise ( myself and a friend) we came across a group of Seals hiding in a sheltered cove from all the strong wind and swell. This Seal I've captured was alone basking in the Australian sun on a rocky ledge. It was almost as if the Seal knew a photo shoot was happening!
