A very noble and elderly sea lion. Details, lighting, and whiskers make this a fun photo to examine. Well done…Jim

I’m not sure I ever thought about sea lions aging. Looks like he might have earned the position of top dog. A very nice portrait!!

He looks like a wise old grandpa getting ready to tell a story! Nice portrait!

Still got that glint in the eye! I like how we see the environment too. A super portrait.

Gary, this is a great portrait of this character. The detail in his whiskers and fir are outstanding. The background is great also.
