Dolphin and lights
Rather than another normal dolphin shot I thought I'd post something a bit different. This is what you end up taking when nothing much has happened for a week.

Dolphin and the lights from Fort George across the Firth.

D3
300
F2.8
1/400
ISO 6400

8.30 at night.

Hi Terry, I like this an evocative shot.. would have taken the horizon out a bit and left the reflection lights to strong .

a nice idea but not really working for me

I like the idea and think it works well. Shows how the creature is living in close proximity to man. Shame you didn't catch it a split second earlier with his head out of the water. Although I've no idea what photographing these animals involves so I can imagine that's far easier said than done.
