Grey Seal pup amongst the golden Marram Grass

I found this Grey Seal Pup (Halichoerus grypus) sheltering amongst the Marram Grass on Winterton Dunes, Norfolk, during the Golden Hour just after sunrise. This special light transformed the scene bringing out the warm tones in the grass and reflecting a golden hue onto the Pups white fur. To avoid distraction from my subject I used the widest aperture possible to achieve a shallow depth of field and positioned myself to get an unobstructed image of the seals face framed by the golden grasses. I like the way that the grass in the foreground and the seals whiskers mimic each other.
