Sea Lion vs Sturgeon...Photo Heavy!! ..Graphic

[jude01]

I spent this last weekend helping raise awareness for the plight of some specific individual sea lions.

It was stressful, heart wrenching, and exhausting with 4 A.M. starts to our day.

The best part was stumbling across this guy, who was having a wonderful time eating his breakfast. I love wildlife photography for moments like this, that are raw, wild and exciting. It makes it all worth while.

Wow .... amazing story you are telling. My favorite shot is in the second set, the sturgeon half way down his throat ... what a killer image ... literally ... lol

[Marko]

very cool set indeed!! - I'm with matt k on the fave.

Way cool set, Jude. I think if I was to pick a favourite it would have to be the 4th shot in the 2nd post.

Love what you are doing for these animals Jude. Hope it goes well for them, and what an interesting series you captured so well there. All very nicely captured.
