EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Seal of Approval" wildlife photographer Mike Riley beautifully captures the essence of the unpredictable nature of shooting animals. As we all know, capturing that perfect shot can be incredibly challenging as animals rarely behave exactly how we want them to. Riley shares his experience swimming around with this particular seal for nearly half an hour, attempting to immortalize its charm through his lens. However, it seemed as though the playful creature was engaged in a game of hide and seek with him, only revealing glimpses of its adorable face. Despite the challenges faced during this encounter, Riley's determination shines through in this remarkable photograph. The image exudes a sense of wonder and curiosity as we are drawn into the seal's expressive eyes and endearing smile. The playfulness captured here reminds us that even in their natural habitat, these magnificent creatures possess a mischievous spirit that adds to their allure. Riley's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail – from the gentle ripples on the water's surface to the soft light illuminating our subject. This picture serves as a testament to both patience and passion; it is a reminder that sometimes our most cherished moments come from unexpected encounters. "The Seal of Approval" by Mike Riley is undoubtedly an extraordinary piece that showcases not only his talent but also celebrates Australia's rich biodiversity.
