Winter

I absolutely love snow fall and the landscapes of winter.  For my blog this week that I was actually able to remember to do, I wanted to find some pictures of winter in the spirit of the weather this week.  I really liked the composition of this photo and the way that the curved lines of the ice help keep your attention on the face of the sea lion (or seal).  The facial expression of the critter adds emotion to the picture and caused me to pause while scrolling through the photographers blog.  I do think that this picture could be interesting in black and white if there was a little more contrast between the seal and the water to its right.  It may have helped to increase the blues in the water and ice to create some more contrast in the photo.

Here is where I found the Photo:
