Elephant Seals are amazing, the males/bulls can get up to 6,000+ pounds.

Is that their backs in the background?

The males are so ugly they are awesome. A couple of shots from a few years ago.

Yes, but there were about 30 of them all lying together, most of them snoozing.

I thought someone might be interested in the original shot, from which this was cropped. (D7200 and the 18-200 VRII) I only saw "It doesn't get . . ." when I had the image on my
MacBook screen. For me, the "decisive moment" often comes long after the shot is taken.
