Thames Seal and The City

I went down to Blackwell Point hoping to capture some of the numerous birds that gather there at low tide, and maybe, just maybe a seal, I knew it was possible. As I approached the numerous birds flew away including the herons, however there it was, a lone seal resting in the morning sun. I moved slowly so it did not see me as a threat and gradually tried to get as close as I could without alarming it, or putting myself in danger. This approach allowed me to try different compositions with the juxtaposition of unusual and relatively new wildlife, construction, new apartments and business spaces presents a compelling view of life on the River Thames.
