Dolphin Seekers...

Some photographers taking photos of dolphin "Strand Feeding" behavior at Kiawah Island SC. I took this photo from my kayak. It's an awesome sight when the dolphins "herd" fish onto the shore and then gorge themselves! It's a learned behavior that other species do not do.

What a great shot. And getting the other photographers in the background is so cool. The water has a hint of silver in it.

Thanks everybody! Luck was definitely a factor as they were doing this at a different location each time they repeated it. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time...with the right camera! My waterproof point and shoot just wouldn't have done the trick!

Very unique shot Kate. Love your perspective and the jumping fish really make this image special.
