Elephant Seal - flux.1 schnell

A majestic elephant seal lies sprawled on a sunlit sandy beach, its massive body glistening with wetness from the ocean waves. The seal's coarse, mottled gray skin contrasts with the soft, golden sand, while its large, soulful eyes gaze lazily at the horizon. In the background, gentle waves lap against the shore, reflecting the vibrant hues of a sunset—fiery oranges, deep purples, and soft pinks blending seamlessly. The scene is painted in a realistic style, capturing every wrinkle and detail of the seal's skin. The lighting is warm and inviting, casting soft shadows that enhance the seal's imposing figure. The camera angle is low, focusing on the seal's face in the foreground, with a slight depth of field that blurs the distant beachgoers. Seagulls circle overhead, adding life to the tranquil scene, while patches of seaweed and driftwood dot the sandy expanse, inviting a sense of natural harmony.
