Hey Ken,
Nice setting here - and even though there's lots going on behind the subject, your choice of DoF and proximity to the subject still allow it to stand out quite nicely. Composition feels pretty centred to me - given the direction the fur seal is looking my preference would be to have it further to the right in the frame (but obviously a personal preference issue).

Ken this real nice. Colors look to be very true and the detail in the seal are great. I would prefer moving the seal a little to the right taking it out of center also. A really cool shot.

Cool pose and nice management of the depth of field. A species I hope to see some day.
