"After trying to feed me penguins for four days," says Paul, who was photographing on Anvers Island off the Antarctic Peninsula, "this massive female leopard seal started showing classic signs of frustration by blowing bubbles at me." Despite her size (nearly three metres – 10 feet – long), Paul didn't feel this was aggression and so kept on shooting. He concluded that she was not just trying to offer him penguins to eat but, more importantly, making an attempt at communication, trying to figure out what his intentions were. "It was, and probably will be, the most amazing wildlife encounter of my career."
