Lion and his Sea

Spent some time going through images from my spring trip to the San Juan Islands and this one really stuck out.  I cloned a small building (lighthouse?) out of the extreme right of the image and got rid of an OOF seagull and I sliced off about 1/5 of the image from the bottom.  Processed through On1 Photo and PS

Nikon D7100 80-400mm VR @ 220mm HH from boat

A very nicely executed animalscape Luke, I like how he is posing above his group of females and his placement in the frame. devil

Excellent.  I like these habitat" images. Having other island in the BG makes it more interesting as well.  Looks like one of them is making a break for higher ground.

Very pleasing as posted.  The colors (variety of greens) on and around the rocks is a nice contrast to the distant cooler greens.  Only option I see for a tweak is to consider a crop from the right edge to keep a more traditional 2x3 ratio, which I think might further enhance the nice diagonals of the rocky outcrop.
