Elephant Seal Excuse Me

The Valdes Peninsula of Argentina has 150,000 resident Southern Elephant Seals and we spent some time photographing them during our trip there. In this instance the young male on the right came over and was trying to get amorous with this young female. She wasn't too interested and after a couple of minutes was able to brush him off.

Very nice image. I would be tempted to try a vertical crop, for more of a portrait feel to avoid the sense of cutting the body of the young bull in half. That would depend, of course, on how many pixels you would have left to retain that great detail without artifact.
