dolphin love...

one above the surface, would love to say i had taken this below but not likely.

i took this leaning over the bow of one of the dive boats on the way home one night. i've cropped it, probably about 5 percent from the top and the same again from the right to try and centralise it, unfortunately i cut the fin tip off the bottom one so i realise it could be better. still, just thought i's share.

SB 28 flash, 70 - 105 lense at about 85mm, 100 iso don't have the rest handy. unfortunately i was taking a few snaps for some people and had the camera in medium jpeg mode.

Lovely composition Mark. Don't mind the loss of the lower animal's fin at all - it is pssible to have too much symmetry sometimes.

Cheers

Very nicely caught :smile: I dont think I would have been able to press the shutter release as I would have been completely happy just to see this :toast:

What super interaction, like the comp too, perhaps just a slight lift in the levels to give it a bit more pop....

One I think you should be very plaesed with even though you weren't in there with them.
