Thought about putting this in the "Portrait" thread but wasn't sure if it passed muster.

Winston,

This is a fine portrait! It works well in B&W too but the color is even better. Look at that guys face! Could perhaps slightly blur the other's. Just a matter of taste.

These are wonderful animals. Almost seem prehistoric!

Asher, Mike,

Thanks for the comments and critique. I have not been absent...just quiet. If not traveling, I'm here every day.

I remember the sea lions from their first posting...gorgeous stuff.
 
Mike,

I just visited your site looking for more sea lion images. I found the one that appears in the animal portrait forum. I also discovered your stunning flora macros...I need some lessons ;-)
