I loved the expression on this one... vulnerable, relieved, exhilarated, lamented, deplored......ohhhh..there's a whole dictionary on the ridley's face....

Bibhav,
Good one. The light is lovely. You seem to have taken this image in a kneel down position. Did it move its head when you clicked? Its left flipper seems to be focussed and sharp. I like the expression in its face. The right flipper is moving as well giving a sense of action.

It was returning after laying eggs. and with the sunrise it was pulled towards the light. It was moving swiftly and stopped momentarily to catch its breath. That's when i got this click... It moved again within seconds...

Thats a nice shot.It shows a lot of expressions on its face as you have said. It seems it is just about to talk something :-)
