IN THE HUNT.
A sea lion is closely watching a sardin baitball to make its move at the best moment to get a bite.
I found a group of sea lions along with a school of stripped marlins that were hunting sardin baitballs in the open ocean a couple of hours from the coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico.
I love your framing of this moment, Roberto. You built a visual narrative around this seal on the hunt, looking to strike these sardines at any moment! Nicely composed and timed.
