I love the cool colors/feeling of the background, especially contrasted with the warmer colors of the foreground. I could wish the focus felt more "crisp" on the body as well as the face, though.

I like the warm brown of the sea lion against the cool blue of the rocks. The position really says "soaking in the rays" Wish the tail was sharper

this is a beautiful picture, but it does not convey to me a feeling of hot or cold or anything in between, i really like the way the colors are displayed and will give a high score anyway,

Aren't these creatures from the Arctic Circle? That's why this doesn't convey warmth to me. It just makes me confused! I wish you'd captured his/ her face, as it is, the eye isn't sure what to focus on. I find it settles on the wrinkles, which I don't think should be the focal point. The patterns of colours in the background look haphazard, and don't add to the composition. The shadow looks a little harsh as a result of shooting in the midday sun. 5
