Cannibal Bay Photo

Photographer’s Note

We’ve seen that lazy fellow on Cannibal Bay, remote and pretty isolated strip of sandy beach somewhere between Invercargill and Dunedin. This is rather interesting spot on Catlins coast, very south-east part of South Island of New Zealand. This place is paradise for wild life, especially sea lions and fur seals. That particular one is a young sea lion. We expected to see a big colony there, but unfortunately only one was on the beach at the time of our visit. They definitely were here for some time before course we saw a lot of signs of lions on a beach and nearest dunes, but I presume it was a lunch time and all company just went to the ocean to get some food.

Photo has very good colors and lots of fine details. It's good that it includes both the sea lion and some of surroundings as well.
Well done.

Hello Dimitri,
The image has a very natural feel to it...colours very good and very good detail in the beach and sea lion. The blue sky gives balance in the photo, and provides a nice contrast to the earthy tones of the beach and green hill. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Hello Dmitri,

Perhaps you were lucky that there was only one! It really creates a great composition! I mean, when do you manage to get only one so isolated in your composition? It was a great opportunity for this point of view. Very nice!!

Greetings,
Dennis
