One of my favourite images of a Grey Seal this year. The ocean water is crashing in the background against a small rocky outcropping far out in the bay.

The head of a grey seal (which describes both the species and the colour) is popping up through the surface of rough ocean water in the morning sunlight, with a wave crashing against an unseen rocky outcropping in the background.
