Description
I watched this fella wiggle and jump for 10 minutes before he made it up. Once there, however, he seemed a bit disappointed by the lack of excitement. 0.oHoly smokes! My first DD!
Thanks everybody for feedback.
This was taken in Santa Cruz, California on one of my vacation trips.
No, the sea lions are not dead
They like to sleep on the lower docks near the piers.Thanks to trevg for the feature!

Is it a photo? it's so vivid it seems like a creation, a morbid one, everyone looks dead. What did you do to get this outcome?

Yep, this is a photo. I didn't do much. I used a few sharpening filters and played with the tones a bit. That's all

I'm sure he just walked by the wharf and snapped a picture

You are correct! Just a snap shot. One of MANY! The seals were everywhere, and I was on the boardwalk for well over an hour.

Lol. A sea-lion death-match throw-down? The reality (ultimate seal napping) was far less intense.

Well, I was all touched by this photo because I thought they were dead... but judging by the comments, I may be wrong? Please, tell me they're sleeping D=
Anyway, great shoot, it looks like a painting.

This is a great shot! Not to mention downright adorable. I just love all the different crazy poses that the sleeping seals have, that poor little guy does indeed seem rather forlorn and disappointed, which makes the entire photo all the more amusing!
Keep up the amazing work and congrats on the DD!

yes indeed, they're all sleeping, dog-pile style (no pun intended)

Lack of excitement indeed. I thought they were all dead before I took a closer look. XD Poor kid. That's just how grown-ups are.

they sure do shove each other around a lot

all the dark marks on those liveless seals look as if they've been battered to death, especially since "The Victor's" coat is still so clean makes it seem he's the only alive one.
Are those seals all dead? Why are they crammed together like that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
They're just sleeping. Sea lions love to cram themselves onto tiny floating platforms and sleep all day.

you're exactly correct

Because it's cold perhaps?

They are sea lions, by the way.

They actually DO look dead, and the title only strengthens this idea. Cool shot

Fantastic capture! This is really something different! Gongratulations!
Did you sharpen the photo or added clarity? It has that sketch look on it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did sharpen it up a bit, and I believe I used a filter to bring out some of the more interesting details in their pelts. Thanks for looking!

This is wonderful!!! I like this image a lot. Good work

such a cute shot. I must admit, I thought someone had posted (from icon view) a photo of seal killings....then I looked at it and my anger quickly turned to awwwwwwwww-ness

Those people.. *ahem* monsters, who brutalize sea lions are the most sickening individuals. I shot these ones, but only with my camera.

From up far I thought those were fish, haha. Then I thought you were in a huge ship with sea lion killings, then I realized they were just sleeping at a dock. Gosh, that is a relief. Great shot. The little one is adorable.
