[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sealion exiting the sea at Seal Bay on Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia. A colony here which has developed back to respectable numbers post seal harvesting up till the 1930s. I was fortunate enough to spend sometime on the beach with these wonderful animals and their pups. More to follow.

Hi Lindsay,
A good composition and pose of the sealion.
The water is really frozen in the moment it falls over him.
Well done and TFS

Hi Lindsay, beautiful shot, capturing a perfect moment. Lovely exposure and POV with a great pose from the seal to boot. You've composed it brilliantly. It reminds me of all those adverts we used to have for aftershave and deoderant for men and I mean that as a compliment because what I remember of those adverts is the amazing clarity and sharpness of the photography. Very nicely done :)
