Here's another shot of the Elephant Seals from the Valdes Peninsula in Argentina. At this point the female had wiggled out from underneath the young male and they had a bit of discussion about it. About 90% of original

Nice intimate look at this pair, I like the tight crop focusing just on the "conversation". When clicked and viewed against the dark background, there is a real sense of 3D in this, the seals really pop out of the background.

Larger version is great! Love the friendly looking "conversation" and their juxtapositions. Nice sequel to the previous action. What happens next, I wonder?

Thanks Cynthia, after this the female moved up the beach towards me and the young male didn't follow.
