Great interaction, wonderful setting and beautiful frame!
BTW, was it a mating ritual or something like that?

Jagdeep, if you had been here 10 seconds later, it would have been very clear what it was! :grin: :grin:
I guess this would be considered “foreplay.”

Beautiful image. Great interaction and nice surroundings. The contrast (not too much of it) really makes me feel like I’m there in the moist ocean air.

Terri - thank you!
This is EXACTLY what I was trying to convey. My hubby thought there was too little contrast until I reminded him that it WAS misty and and little mystical that day…

Sandy: this is a great example of less is more. The three elements of the elephants seals, the water and the sand combine to make an elegant composition. The techs are spot on and this one deserves a place on your wall. Richard

Excellent composition and great interaction, Sandy.
