I caught a tender moment between male(left) and female sea lions on San Cristobal Island. I notice that they seem to enjoy rubbing whiskers on one another. This is full frame, I considered cropping some from the left.

Hi

A fine capture of this intimate little moment - I don't see the point of a crop, the composition is not hurt any by the negative spaces imo

All the best
Matthew

I love this just as it is Nate, the sliver of the mother's body just confirms the connection with the pup, almost like full circle in my opinion. A precious and intimate moment!

Sweet moment captured. I would not crop at all from the left, IMO having the body there completes the image and is an important part of it.
