This is a very young sealion - about the cutest little thing in the world!
Tourists in the Galapagos have to be careful not to touch baby sealions, or even not to let them touch you - they are very inquisitive... but if a human touches them their mothers will smell the difference and there is a chance that the baby could be abandonned :(
Cropped the image and sharpened for upload :)

Hi, Kat!

Let me be the first chap to comment on this one because all other comments will come from the girls. Is this guy/gal cute or what?

What a gorgeous expression this fellow/lass has and you've captured it perfectly. Brilliant! Well done!

Best Wishes,

John.

Awe, it doesn't get much more innocent then this.
Very cute!

Hi Kat,
Must have been hard to resist to give it a hug with a sad look, soft-looking skin and micro ears like that!!! :-)
Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Bea

Definately a cute little chap, I'm surprised you didn't bring him home (or is he now in your bath?).
From a technical perspective the picture seems a little oversharpened and a little too light (looking at the histogram its definately weighted towards the white end of the spectrum).
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hello Kat

Hi Kat,
Cute little guy you have caught here, nice colours and POV, IMO it looks a little noisey, maybe high ISO or over sharpened, nice anyway, very useful and important note too.
Tfs Andy

Hello Kat,nice to meet you!
This is an incredible shot,amazing and a good aproach to the baby.
Exellent shot with clear light but i have a question for you...did you used tele for this shot?
because ok,you should not touch a baby for the mother abandom but i think that mothers are very jeallous and with a heavy point of view about strangers that want to touch their babyes!!!
Exellent shot,hope to see you again :)

This is one of the cutest pictures that I`ve seen recently ...
The moment is perfect... and most of all the subject.
I just simply love it.
My best regards to you.
and thatnks for sharing this with all of us.
Fernando.

Hi Kat,
I love the look on this little fellows face. Pity they have to grow up.
Another delightful image from your trip, TFS.
Cheers,
Peter.

Hy Kat
WOW! Yea talk about cute! What a quality posting of the young one. looks like a sleepy expression on the little guy.

Back from a 11 day photo trip - thanks for the previous critiques.

Hello Kat.

Excellent picture, nice composition and colors.

Regards.
Jose Luis.

great photo.
sweet.
nice colour and idea.
gratulation,
Nelka

I loved the photo- mainly because of the "model", but also because of the quality of the photo and the reflexes of the sun

Me gusta la foto...me da ternura la imagen este pequeño.
pero sobre todo que lo pudiste tomar con esa expresion...un DOF mas abierto se hubiera visto mas dramatico en el fondo

saludos
Jessica Balderas

Hi Kat.

Tomek
