Description
Hello All!
Ok cheesy title
but hey he really looked liked he was singing for his life!! (((... Paula would have accepted him for his cuteness, Randy would have said,"you sound like a dog barking DAWG" and Simon would have said, "You're HORRID -out of the question"!!!!! ...)))) no gold ticket for Mr sealion !!! LOL -forgive my silly imagination here hehe!!!
Seriously this shot of a California sea lion -for me caught my eye because of the backlight on his whiskers and then he opened up his mouth and yawns and made this TERRIBLE SOUND and It made me laugh ... was happy I caught his mouth opened at its widest!! (Another I shot this past weekend in early evening light). Didn't have time to post work this one as much as I have been doing-just softened the background ,clarified, cleaned up a tad and slightly saturated.
Will try to get to some comments today have to pack for a trip to Vegas though leaving tommorrow for a week to visit my Mom (hoping I can get over to red rock or Valley of the fire while there...).
Thank you for your time and comments!!
Love to all
((( BIG HUGS )))

LOL. Wonderful shot and perfect narrative! Have a fun and safe trip, see you when you return.
Looks more like he's baying at the moon, ala wolves. Or maybe he's yelling "come and get it!" Or just gargling his throat. Terrific clarity and light and dark contrast in this portrait, Kimmie!
Nice :)

LOL... I would call in and vote for this one.... I like it very much. Excellent. Aloha
Just wonderful ;-) Safe journeys!
Delightful Capture Kimmers! You forgot to add that Simon would have also said; "I don't get it?". Talk about cheesy!
It's not a silly imagination at all, its called creativity, and we all have it to differing degrees. #:0) Excellent capture Kim, and the title fits to a 'T', and I for one loved your thinking on American Idol. Bravo!!!!!
Fabulous and very opportune shot my friend....!!!!!
