Sea Lion - [Zalophus californianus]
Monterey Bay, Moss Landing, California, United StatesI was aboard Blue Ocean Whale Watching out of Moss Landing when I saw a sea lion acting like a dolphin. He kept teasing me by coming close and flipping in the water. I was lucky to get this image. They are super fast. I love how playful they can be.

How archival are Metal Prints?
Images printed with the MetalPrints process will last for generations when displayed indoors and out of direct sunlight. Like any fine art print, MetalPrints should not be exposed to direct sunlight or high outdoor temperatures. MetalPrints have an additional benefit over giclee or photographic processes in that they are waterproof and have an ultra-hard scratch resistant coating. The archival value of a print should be judged not only by its resistance to degradation by U.V. light and ozone exposure, but also to moisture and surface damage. When these factors are brought into the equation, MetalPrints are an excellent way to preserve an image.
