Elephant seal

A massive elephant seal lies majestically on a sun-kissed sandy beach, its thick, wrinkled skin glistening in shades of deep gray and muted brown. The seal's large, expressive eyes gaze lazily at the viewer, while its prominent snout and flaring nostrils add to its imposing presence. Surrounding it are scattered seashells and tufts of seaweed, with gentle waves lapping at the shore in the background. The scene is painted in a realistic style, capturing the texture of the seal’s skin and the softness of the sand. The warm afternoon light casts soft shadows, creating a serene atmosphere. The color palette features earthy tones of beige and brown, contrasted with the deep blue of the ocean. The camera angle is low, emphasizing the seal's grandeur against the expansive sky. Include a distant flock of seagulls soaring overhead and a hint of rocky cliffs in the background to enhance the coastal setting.
