Elephant Seal

A majestic elephant seal lounges on a sun-drenched beach, its massive, wrinkled body glistening with droplets of seawater. The seal's prominent, trunk-like snout is raised, showcasing its large, expressive eyes and whiskered face. Surrounding it, soft golden sands blend into foamy turquoise waves lapping at the shore, with a backdrop of rugged cliffs bathed in the warm glow of a late afternoon sun. The scene is painted in a realistic style, capturing the intricate textures of the seal's fur and the shimmering ocean. The lighting casts long shadows, enhancing the seal's imposing silhouette against the vibrant sunset hues of orange, pink, and deep blue. The camera angle is low, focusing on the seal's face while including the expansive beach and distant waves, creating a sense of intimacy and grandeur. Seagulls soar overhead, and a few scattered seashells dot the sand, adding life and context to this serene coastal tableau.
