Description
A group of sea lions resting on a small island just off the coast of Carmel. This was as close as my 60x lens would take me...
Please zoom.

wonderful capture
Very cool!
Swimming around all the time is hard work! What a wonderful atmosphere in this shot!
Nice capture.
Life is tough in the wonderful world of sea lions and a couple of them look like they are sheading! A super photo!
They seem to have been poured there. Great shot!
This is what I feel like today...I could just melt into the landscape. :)
They seam to mould into the contours and colours very well! I never thought of seals as camouflaged! Great shot!
Perhaps they are just taking a break from sea lion work. Fantastic capture!
What a beautiful sight. Fantastic camera work.
you got a lot of comments on this, and I gotta tell you, you deserve tons more than you get. I just wonder if many artists here 'get' what you're doing, and how intensely and how penetratingly. But your fans obviously do. Aside from what a great textured shot this is, you got the context to a tee. The surroundings are perfect for the s.lions, they're "poured" there, as Tara says. You couldn't have found a more harmonious milieu. And your deep golden browns and ambers and golds and greens are marvelous, esp on the lions, though equally on the mossy rocks. (If that's moss.) The upper rocks---in the right half---are like the silk landscapes of ancient China (ink on silk backing). You've achieved a painterly "flatness" here. And the water is just enough 'ground' to give this a shimmering base. It's terrific, Claude. When this went up, I thought, "how marvelous to capture 'context' so well. The environs and lions were made for each other.
