Photographer's Note
I shot this picture in Munich's Zoo (Tierpark-Hellabrunn). I visited the "pool" where the seals are kept just at their feeding time, because I know that at this time is when most zoo animals are really active. This gives of course very good photo opportunities.
So, I waited just a few minutes until a man with a bucket filled with fishes went into the "pool" and started throwing those fishes to the seals.
Here a seal is waiting for an easy piece of food --and another one also at the lower left corner of the picture.
The coloured lines are just water drops splashed by the other seals (not shown) while eating. This drops refracted the light from the sun, and hence, the image resulted this way.

Hi Jurgen
What a wonderful capture of the seal waiting for a fish, good detail and I like the effect of the sun hitting the water spray.
Cheers
Jude

Hello Jrgen,
lovely shot of the seals feeding. Good light and beautiful colors. I especially like those drops reflecting the sunlight. Really a nice effect.
