The picture shows two seals on a rocky outcrop by the sea. The water is a vibrant turquoise and is gently lapping against the rocks. The seal in the foreground is lying down, facing the camera, and appears to be resting or sunbathing. The other seal is behind it and seems to be in the process of moving, possibly about to enter the water. The rocks are brown and rugged, with some wet patches indicating the tide level. The sun is shining, creating a sparkling effect on the water's surface.
