...that as nature photographers we are not immune from the law, and we need to be careful about the impact we have on our photo subjects.

I had a hard time deciding how to crop this photo (it was originally 3x2 format). Any comments/suggestions greatly appreciated.

I'm familiar with the laws Jessica, so I don't have any problems with the title. It could be stronger if simply "Don't!" or something eye-catching for warning posters. The only thing I might change in the photo is to crop that dark piling from the left side. That big dark form draws my eye, but without it, I'm drawn to the line between the camera and the nearest sea lion. Nice work, and I like the concept a lot!

I like your image very much. Sometimes people do stupid things and get away lucky, as this man has done. Holding a piece of paper, along the left edge, you may be able to crop, but the man will be at the edge. Still a nice image either anyway.
