Elephant Seal - flux.1 schnell

A colossal elephant seal lounges on a sunlit, sandy beach, its wrinkled, grey skin glistening with droplets of seawater. The seal's large, expressive eyes are half-closed, exuding a sense of tranquility. In the background, gentle waves lap against the shore, with a few seagulls soaring overhead, their white feathers contrasting against the deep blue sky. The scene is painted in a hyper-realistic style, capturing every detail of the seal's coarse fur and the textured sand. Warm golden light bathes the scene, creating a serene, inviting mood with a color palette of soft blues, sandy beiges, and hints of ocean green. The camera is positioned at a low angle, emphasizing the seal's massive size and the vastness of the beach. To enhance the scene, a few scattered seashells and seaweed are visible in the foreground, adding depth and context to this peaceful coastal habitat.
