Greetings fromt the Critique Club
Hi BamBam!!!

Composition
Excellent use of the rule of thirds here. I love the 'emerging' from the water you have going on.

Color
Good colors - hard to get a 'true water blue' in a pool type area. I like the darker colors here. The contrast is nice between the animal and the pool.

Lighting
This shot seems a bit bright - what if you took brightness down a little bit? Or ... something to make the blacks blacker and keep the whites white?

Subject matter
I love this shot for fauna! S/he's so cute! Absolutely meets the challenge.

Overall
Great job. I don't think the score reflects the thought in this shot - and how cute it is!
Happy shooting!

Nice expression on this sea lion! The contrast is kind of weird to me,though. The water looks like snow? Great composition.

Colors in the water give a cool, calm feeling. Blissful.
