Description
Skipped a few shots that were sharper than this, but he had not come so far out of the water as in this shot. Seemed the Harbor Seal in the water felt he had exclusive dibs on this rock, and wanted the other to vacate the premises. The one sunning himself knows he has the advantage of higher ground and was not about to yield, more to come!

It's great that you can get so close without disturbing them. Wonderful sleek creatures. The crow is being an oppotunist here! Fine series of photos you have done.
Superb place and excellent capture of the animals! Superb colors.
Excellent dynamic shot !
Beautiful shot. The one half out of the water looks quite smaller than the one on the rock. He might not want to push his luck.

What a great shot, Dana! You were certainly in the right place at the right time! Looking forward to more of this.
Great shot - as the others have said. Really great through a 300mm. I love the Monterey Bay Aquarium - hoping to visit on my forthcoming coastal road trip in a couple of weeks. Well done
What fun! I love these seal pics.
Perfect timing.... Aloha
