Two seals negotiating to come aboard a buoy. 

We were looking for whales in Auke Bay, just outside of Juneau, Alaska.  Late in the afternoon we sailed over to a buoy filled with seals.  An ok picture.  However, at the right angle the water shimmered due to the low angle of the sun. I asked the boat captain to re-position the boat to get the glittering background for a possible silhouette. Luckily, two seals started a heated “argument” just as we got into position- which, instead of an ok picture, made for a very unique image.
