I watched these two young sea lions fooling around for some time. I like the comical expression on the right-hand youngster. Comments welcome.

I agree the young one on the right looks quite cute. However, the bg has an unnatural colour, and I just wish you had got the other youngster locking eyes with its partner.

That expression really is nice Crystal. I also like the lighting and texture on the fur coats. I d agree with Ajit that the BG looks a bit blend. In principle I also agree with his comment about the pose of the youngster, but I know how hard it is to get two subject in the poses with the expressions you want them to in one frame.

I like their compositional shapes within the frame. My wish would have been for the face of the left animal to be visible. Yes the sky is somewhat bland, but not a deal breaker.
