Sorry for yet another Galapagos Sea Lion photo. I realize I may have too many! I was just going through all my Ecuador & Galapagos photos again, and I found this one. I don't know why I overlooked it, I quite like it. Hope you do too. I greatly appreciate all comments and critiques! Thank you!

Tech:
Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
Tamron 28-300 f/3.5-6.3 @ 300mm f/6.3

I like the intimate feeling of this photo, the way the light draws contours, and the diagonal lines in the composition... A very pleasant image!

Very sweet Cam, both the subject as the image itself. The diagonal lines provide for an interesting composition and the soft light gives this an appealing feel. If anything at all, I would sharpen the subject's head just a little bit more, moreover the shadow side.

The poor guy has sand in his eye. Nice closeup with great detail. Makes me want to take a nap, but not in the sand.
