Authentic wildlife photograph, 5:6 near-square portrait frame. A single wild sea lion rests on wet dark rock inside the mouth of a natural sea cave, body in profile, head and neck lifted toward the pale grey opening of the arch and the calm sea beyond. The cave walls frame the animal as a rough dark doorway, with barnacles and wet kelp strands on the rock. Soft overcast diffuse daylight, natural muted colours of slate, brown and pewter, accurate anatomy, glistening fur, beaded whiskers. Animal in the lower half, bright opening above. 300mm telephoto from a respectful distance, shallow depth of field, subtle sensor grain. Quiet observational documentary mood. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
