It was late evening at the hatchery and as the sun dropped low in the sky the older Sea Lions were napping with full bellies but the juveniles still had lots of energy and spent their time sparring and rough-housing. The setting sunlight was very warm looking but was also very sharp (high contrast) which made it difficult to get the exposure right. The exposure peaking indicators come in very handy for these type of situations.
Specific Feedback Requested
I thought about eliminating the seagull on the right foreground and the salmon in the middle foreground but decided to leave them because they provide a lot of context and atmosphere for the scene. Would like to hear some opinions.
