Elephant Seals at rest all day on the California Coast. Cropped to pano to get everyone in the group shot. Caught one of them flinging sand with his flipper to keep himself cool:) As you can see a lot of them are already covered.

Jackie, looks like you are having big fun on the central coast! Very nice composition and you even caught one flipping sand, which is about as active as they get. The first time my wife and I saw these guys she said "omg, they're all dead!". Of course they weren't, but sometimes it's hard to tell... ;)

Hi lady Jackie,
I like your composition, image and capture...the color rendition and tonal quality is superb...It looks like these guys are catching some Zzzzzzzzzzzz's...:D:p Love it...:cool:
.... tittle ... does it for me !!!
Could even crop the one up top to make the others larger in frame !! Either way works well !!!
Well done Jackie - like this a lot - a very relaxed feel to it :)
Tried a new version: upped the vibrance a bit and tried some sharpening for the web and a new crop.
I wish I could sleep like that!! Love these Sea Lions! I wonder if cloning out the Sea Lions in the back would work? Just the ones in the semi circle in the front.
i like their style! cool title and awesome capture. i could go either way on the crops. both look good to me.
