This sea lion was actually charging another sea lion that was encroaching on his favorite fishing hole.  It was a slow, lumbering process though as the water was so shallow and he was so heavy.  

Sony a6300, SE 55-210 @ 123 mm, ISO-100, f/6.3, 1/200, hand held.

He is right up on the rocks, isn't he?  Wow, that must have been interesting.  They are big critters!  This image makes is appear that he is charging at you. Danged exciting, if that were the case!

This is a dandy.  If full frame, you might experiment with crop, as the only thing that grabs my eye is that the upper right gull feel decapitated  and although a minor element, it still affects where I scan first.
