On the Rocks with a Splash of Salt

Image Critiques Weekly Challenge

I posted this before in a different challenge category but it’s one of the best I have for this category also. Hope that’s not a problem. These are Steller Sea Lions hauled up on the rocks on the East side of Glacier Island, Prince William Sound near Valdez, Alaska. The ocean swells were crashing on the rocks and made for some nice dynamics.

Gary: Love the wave action and the overall comp. We had a few similar scenes on our trip so this brings back some more nice memories. :+1::+1:>=))>

Gary, this is a great capture with the waves and the sea lions. Very nice.

Gary, the details in the splash, the beautiful green water and the sea lions work together very well. I’d hang this on my wall. Nice timing on the wave break.
