DESCRIPTION AND SETTINGS :
Taken in the Galapagos. Pup was about one hour old. A frigatebird was nearby eating the placenta. Nikon D60, 1/500sec, f5.6.
Judge's Critique:
Just Born: A tender moment in time. Making time stand still is a photographer's specialty. The image is well composed and exposed. It may have benefited from a little post-processing. Zoom in to the rocks in the upper right and the sea lions back, and you will see fringing. This effect will show up in a print. See the side-by-side visual critique. Did the post-processing to darken the background and open up the eye and face improve the photo?
