Sea Lion Sanctuary
I posted this image sometime back on animals or a similiar topic but thought I might open up it up to some pacific coast feedback. The position was interesting as the camera was over my head on a tripod leaning against a fence. Through a small hole I got an idea of my composition and bracketed some images of which the 5 second variety was the best result. C and C welcomed and appreciated.

Raymond,

Very lucky that the seals did not move for 5 complete seconds!

I'd like to see this more as a panoramic, to bring more attention of the subject: the seals. I feel they get lost in this image. I am using 2 sheets of paper to do this, and I think it would help strengthen the image.

I like the light you were able to get on the sea lions Raymond, and the unbelievable non-movement for 5 seconds.
