Aww, I do love photos of seals - I'm not sure whether you have caught this one mid-blink, if it has a cataract, or if there is strong reflection from the sky, but the right eye does look clouded or blind, which I find mildly distracting. I might have been tempted to try for a shallower dof, but respect your choice.

Beautifully done. Perfect exposure. DOF. The look. Composition It's a pretty slow moving animal so this helps get the shot right but the other factors mentioned make this a clean and lovable image.
