I think you've captured a great moment. I really like the composition. I have to agree with the majority about the blue thing though. I think I understand the "feel" you're going for, but I'd like to see it natural. It might then look like another animal shot, but I think a great animal shot is...a great animal shot. :-)
I'm not sure about the blue either. That said, the crop and framing are tremendous. I can almost see him jumping out of the water while barking, and creating a huge "noisy" splash.
This guy looks like he's singing! I like the composition and the cropping but I would have liked a smoother, less noisy look to the shot. I don't think the blue adds anything to it, but I'd have to see it will different options really to tell for sure.
I like the blue hue to this photo, I think it makes the photo standout
I think it would just be another good animal shot if the coloring was left std as the inside of the mouth would distract from the great cropping used here
Really cute shot, Steve. I like the comp. I also agree that losing the blue cast would improve this shot. I might even clone out that light line in the bg, from the seal's eye to the right edge of the shot. Nice work, though.
Well, I wish I had more to say about this picture....
Its great. I like the crop choice. The detail looks sufficient, maybe a bit obscured by the darkness in the shadows. A lot of others have commented about the blue cast and I think they're right, it detracted from the photo. Im guessing your score would have easily gone up a whole point if this wasn't the first thing to hit many a viewers brain.
I know how noisy these critters can be (my local zoo has some). Your choice of composition works well. (Can you select white balance? The color seems to be a bit off..... on my monitor.)
Title aside, this doesn't really scream 'sound' to me, although I can sort of see it as on topic. This looks very strange, overly blue -- is it tinted? Also the framing seems off -- either too much negative space or possibly not enough.
he looks like a statue! if he was spitting water he'd be a fountain! Very nice capture. I took some sea lion photos recently but was never able to get this close.
