Sea-Lion at La Jolla

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

A sea lion at La Jolla cove. I thought I'd include a bit of the rocky habitat to give an idea of their environs. They were pretty tame and allowed us to get quiet close. There was this stink in that area so it kept me going too close Another issue getting the right shots was the scores of joggers and walkers getting there to shoot the animals with their mobile phones

Love the eye contact and pose here Sanjeev, techs look good with nice detail & colour in the wet fur, with good habitat inclusion also. I'd take just a sliver off the bottom, but not really an issue.

Hi Sanjeev - This is very nice with a good pose, shooting angle and comp. Colors and tones look good too. Well done.

TFS,

Hello Sanjeev,

Proud pose from this handsome fellow, he seems so relaxed in front of the camera Really worth getting close despite the "stink", LOL.

Good techs, well framed, nice colours and tones, sharpness is there in good measure. Love the sheen of the subject's coat, he is in great condition.

Great idea to include some of the environment, although I wouldn't mind to see some close-ups too, if you have Nice work Sanjeev!

Kind regards,

Beautiful I like the composition but think a tiny bit off the base would help.
(I like the image size I can't help but feel the 1900px images are too big when sitting so close, I feel as though I can only see a relatively small part of the image at one time so effectively large images lead to pixel peeping.)
