It looks fairly minimal to me Traveller, and absolutely gorgeous, playful, & light hearted!

Now Trav.....these creatures are Not like.... COW (for instance!) .... I trust that you came to this understanding before reaching for your knife and fork? :-)

I reckon this fits... there is only ONE seal in the shot and there must have been a bunch of barking seals.... (or is it a bunch of seals barking?... a barking bunch of seals?)

Nice capture of a leopard seal.... is that a close relative to the Lepoard seal? :-)

I went swimming with the seals and pelicans a few days ago...61 degree water, no wet suit but you know, it wasn't that bad (I'm too old a man for all that fancy stuff),...your feet tangles in long sea grass swaying up from the bottomless ocean.

Alas, all the images are busy and the faces of the seals fill the frame; hardly minimalistic. I was in this lovely cove by accident...the seals barking; I had to go in.

This may not be minimalism either, but it is pretty and maybe close enough.
