This image depicts an outdoor marine mammal exhibit, consistent with the facilities at the New York Aquarium in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York, United States. The scene features one blonde female trainer and one dark-colored sea lion on a light grey, wet performance platform. The trainer, positioned in the background, is wearing a black short-sleeved top, black shorts, and black gloves, with a white pouch attached to her hip. She stands with her mouth open, appearing to speak or smile, her left hand slightly raised and bent at the elbow. The sea lion, positioned closer to the foreground, is in an upright, seated posture facing right, with its head turned back and its right flipper raised, seemingly scratching its neck or head. Water droplets are visible on the platform around the sea lion. The platform extends over a dark blue pool of water, with a lower section of the pool visible in the immediate foreground. In the background, behind the trainer, is a light blue wall adorned with abstract white and teal shapes resembling icebergs or waves. Faint, inverted white text is reflected on the wet platform surface, visible between the trainer and the sea lion. A light grey box-like structure and part of an umbrella base are visible on the left side of the platform. The overall environment suggests a controlled setting for a public animal show or training session.
