Unique pose for this seal captured during an Antarctica expedition. The weather was unremarkable and highly overcast, but post processing was able to turn an otherwise bland picture into something majestic.
Post processing notes:
ON1 Photo RAW, 2026.3. Lens correction. NoNoise AI. Adjustments to reduce exposure and add contrast. Flat grey sky was replaced with Sky Swap AI to add more dimension and interest.Exif information:
