Your best animal shots!

That is one coy-looking tease, candyman.

;D
Yes, I'm not sure if it is a playful look or he/she is just annoyed. But thanks anyway for that look. It was a split second and I waited some time for his/her head to turn around.

Male California sea lion basking in the sun on a small islet off the coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, about a month ago. Not the best picture but I was pleased with it because it was shot handheld with a 7DMII + Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary at 600mm from a bucking zodiac. It's the only in-focus picture I was able to get.

As I am usually land-locked, so vacation to the ocean means I get to enjoy the sea animals that you coastal folk probably think are ordinary...or even annoying!

This Harbour Seal was checking me out, 10ft off the beach at Pidgeon Point, California.

Nice and yes feel proud!

I was on a similar rig off the coast of Haida Gwaii doing much the same and the operator didn't have a clue as we circled to mini island. Not only rocking but the sun was at a very bad angle and little time was allowed for shooting (I was the only shooter). Disappointing for sure.

Common or not, it makes for a very cute photo.

I was hoping for whale pictures and whatnot. We had a whale breach right in front of the zodiac. Did I get a picture? Nope! Maybe another time. Zodiacs are fun but hard on the spine and questionable for photography unless you have a photographically aware pilot. I'll go on a bigger platform the next time. 8)

Exactly my experience too and the guy rather carelessly (we were first timers and unwilling to complain) actually cracked my wife's spine (foolishly for photos I sat at the very front).

We had to visit the Haida Gwaii hospital to confirm it wasn't worse and it rather spoiled some of our holiday. I was holding the 6D with 300 X2 and it's a wonder it wasn't shattered. Readers of this beware and sit at the back of a zodiac!! And cry bloody murder if the operator isn't being responsible.

Here is one of my poorly lit shots. The experience could have been so much better and now I know for next time - hopefully there will be a next time.
