Yes, that's fine. That tiny bit doesn't bother me. 'Twere mine, I'd probably
obsess and clean it up more, but really ...

Looks right to me at the original size. Yes, atmosphere effects can do that,
quite different from the hard line in the
reduced version.

Well, glad to share your luck!
They do that on some NorCal beaches, but it's lots of them at once, so while
some are out feeding the pups aren't alone.
Elephant seals gather on the end of Point Reyes, but the Park Service has quite
properly kept people at a distance. So
all shots are lone tele. I've got some, somewhere.
Sea otter moms will swim on their back, carrying the pup on their chest, then
wind its lower half in kelp, to keep it
from floating away while they dive for food. When that area is played out, they
move the pup to a new location. I think
the pup nurses while being carried. I don't seem to have posted these, either.
