This intimate wildlife photograph captures a young elephant seal pup lying contentedly on white sand at Drakes Beach. The pup's rotund body is dusted with sand, and its eyes are closed in peaceful repose. The seal's dark, smooth skin contrasts beautifully with the pale sand, while other elephant seals rest in soft focus in the background. The image conveys the tranquil atmosphere of a breeding colony during haul-out season.
