This is my first post. Hope you enjoy. I just got back from an amazing trip photographing elephant seals and birds along the central California coast. I'll have a whole lot more seal shots to post. Stay tuned!

Welcome! Nice interaction with these two youngsters sparring and the incoming surf makes a good backdrop. A sliver more room at the bottom would be better so that the body isn't quite so close to the edge.

Welcome Rick. Good action captured against the backdrop of the crashing waves. I too wish for more room at the bottom so there's a base for the seal to be on, but otherwise a fine shot.
