Marram Grass Whiskers
Shortlisted BWPA 2014 - Close to Nature
At the height of the pupping season there are usually in excess of 500 Grey Seal pups on the beach between Horsey Gap and Winterton in Norfolk. Unfortunately, not all survive! I found this one partially buried under a blanket of wind-blown sand. It seemed to mimic the dunes that surrounded it with tufts of fur and whiskers of Marram Grass. I got in close with my wide angled lens and focussed on the whiskers. I converted to black and white to emphasise the texture of the fur and sand.
