The big male Elephant Seals are actually pretty docile as long as you are not a big male Elephant Seal. The big danger is that they run over you accidentally 🙁

I love eyeball shots, even though my wife (Robin) is alway bugging me to go wider and get the environment. But for me, I love seeing the detail in the eye and the reflections that generally occur. Nicely done, and I particularly like the radial muscles that David points out.

I would like to see you photograph an adult elephant seal male from 3 feet away! I would be right behind you with my iPhone set on video!
