These female Galapagos Sea Lions are engaged in in a vigorous debate. They were lunging at each other with fangs barred, and accompanying those lunges with furious barking. They were well off-shore, and it took a cropped version of a 400mm shot to size the argument large enough to work. Shooting fast moving subjects just after dawn at such long range will usually produce a blurred image. I conceded that fact, and was able to make a blurred image that fully expresses the fury of the moment. It is the blur itself that brings to this image a visceral effect. The fight ended almost as soon as it started, and the sea lions went their separate ways as if nothing had happened. Only this image remains to commemorate this struggle in the surf.
