This southern sea lion wasn’t quite buying what I was selling. Still, he posed for a few quick shots before taking his business elsewhere. I was hiking along a remote coastline on Carcass Island in the Falklands where these sea lions are usually pretty timid. I had to be very still while photographing this large male. The males, as I mentioned in a previous post, really live up to their name with that mane of thick lion-like hair. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) f/6.3 at 1/800th of a second

Baleful mastiff of the sea —- While idling on an unfamiliar shore —- A furry periscope becomes.
What a super portrait – love the expression you caught on his face. “Ummmm…no thanks!”
I agree with Ann. I love the skeptical look on his face.
