Elephant Seal Flipper Detail (Mirounga angustirostris)

Piedras Blancas
San Simeon, California

COP 2019 WORKSHOP PARTICIPANT NOTES:
If lighting is tough or if there are distracting elements in the frame which cannot be eliminated by moving, zooming in can be a very creative alternative as seen here where I zoomed in on the elephant seals' flipper. The image was also cropped to obtain the desired final composition.
