original is:
Carved out each face and rearranged it. Little other post processing except some detail work on the white harbor seal. That Canon 70-300 IS lens is nice 'n sharp for these detail pics.

A little digression: Back when Fala was "first dog" Scotties became all the rage and a popular kid's toy was a set of Scotties, one black, one white. (They frequently had magnets on their feet for added interest - at least mine did) Often, when I see animals that have similar shading, I think back to those little Scotties.

What wonderful markings they have. They look so cuddly.

Very n ice - I like seals - we have a little breding beach just down the coast. The seal on the left is actually auditioning for the title role in a marine wildlife production of the phantom of the opera, hence the mask. Did you get pictures of the penguin chorus ?

I was thinking dogs too. Cute as and intelligent, nice combo.

Lovely diptych, Alice. I think if these seals bring dogs to mind, for me, it is a couple of lab x dalmatians we once had. (They only had such markings on their chests, though, being mostly black.)
