Description: The same Sea Lion as the last post with a freshly caught Pink Salmon. Maybe a little too graphic for some, but it is part of the natural food chain.

It is a bit gross, but that is nature. I think the lovely water splashes, which almost look like a glass sculpture, are a very interesting counterpoint, along with the glossy look of the wet sea lion. And then we come to his teeth… They subjects stand out so well from the soft yet interesting BG water. Quite a visual journey here – well done!

Stunning capture and it is technically solid !
It has so many things going in favor, eye of Sea Lion, dripping water along with blood, eye of Salmon, big waves behind and so on…

Cheers !

Terrific image, Gary. They don’t call them sea lions for nothing! Nicely done.
