I usually try to emphasize expression on such subjects as this. However in this case, the environmental context is more important, so I framed the entire rock this sea lion is using as a bed. There is considerable scale incongruity between the rock and the sea lion -- the bed is large and hard, and its top curve is echoed by the curve in the sea lion's body. A canopy of green provides a softening touch, contrasting with the cold stone below it. This image is as much about the place as it is about the sea lion.
