Well, this is adorable and really deserves a "6". You captured the cutie so close up. The water is a nice blue and the forms around him although he is so quiet, and sweet. Largest puddle I've seen. LOL. Best wishes in the contest.

    Thank you so much Glena. The puddle wasn't as large as it looks, he's only a babe, not long out of his white fur!

I am amazed that you have this wondrous ability to capture nature in such a calm and unruffled way. This seal pup seems to be enjoying a delightful moment of serenity in the puddle.
The image is crystal clear and the colors true.
We should all enjoy moments like this.
