Very Nosy Sea Lion

When you can see the texture of the inside of his nostrils, you're probably too close to the sea lion!   I thought I'd post this one just for the fun of it.  Caught him just as he was coming up for air.  The large version is more interesting :-)

Sony ILCE-6000, FE 70-200mm F4 G @ 161mm, ISO-200, f4.0, 1/1000.

Absolutely too close! Those big boys have a fearsome temper! A nice catch, just the same.frown

I like the neat pattern texture of the sheeting water on his forehead.  Very close, indeed!
