Your skilled photography of the lovely, realistic sea-lions, along with the running water and other pieces, including your conversions to black and white all contain fine workmanship and scene.

Good luck in the contest.

I love the long scale contrast achievable today. And this is a fine example of the art form.
B&W brings out the character of the subject. Sets the tone and gives the scene its texture.
I know how easy it is to convert full spectrum color to B&W, and admittedly the results are admirable. But try setting your camera to shoot in B&W mode. I tried it and I felt I could see a better scale of contrast from the lens. Oh yeah .. don't forget to switch back to color.
I like the shot, good work ... Bob

I love seals. The consgtruction of the scene is fine. The crop works as you have centered the two seals. Every once in a while, the conversion from color to B/W just is tough trick.
The central seal is just too black. Using a post-production brush, you could lighten him a bit and give it some dimension. Using the same post-production darkening brush, you could add some brush strokes on the rocks. I would enlarge the scene so when you use your brushes, you can control the area of shading. I hope the information is of some value. You can redo the post and re-post.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and full composition gives us an enjoyable view of those sea lions and their location. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!
