Animals Basking on Rocks, Walls or Stones

WOW, this sea lion looks comfy. It is really relaxed and basking in the heat. I really like the position of its head. The image is composed well, has great tones and contrast and is pin sharp. A brilliant image of a basking sea lion, well done.

This is great! I really like how this bird is basking in the heat. The bird is pin sharp and composed very well. Well done for keeping all the detail in the bird's dark feathers. A cracking image, well done.

Crikey, this is a really nice image that packs loads of contrast. I really like how you get a real sense of the light on the lizard and how it is basking. The image is very well composed and pin sharp. Well done for a great image.

This is a cracking entry. I love the face on the polar bear as it shows just how relaxed it is. Also it shows that the polar bear is really basking. The polar bear is pin sharp, well composed and has great tones and contrast. A lovely image and worthy winner. Congratulations.

I like how this leopard has chosen to bask in a little more shaded spot. The dappled shade on the fur is great and you have handled the tones and contrast really well. The composition is cracking too. The leopard is pin sharp as well. An amazing image, well done.
