Ascension

It took me several goes, but I finally felt like I had the hang of taking shots of the dolphins.

    Amazing shot! More impressive is the way you've framed it so the viewer is unaware of the fact that this is our pet dolphin in the paddling pool out the back of our house!

    PS Mr Bracks, we use recycled water for our dolphins!

    Great framing! Dolphins can be very difficult to frame and capture at such close range. Well done!

    I love this photo. There are lots of pictures out there of jumping dolphins but this one is unique because of the reflection. Great capture!

    Absolutely beautiful - you caught the moment just right with the reflection. I've taken thousands of shots of dolphins and I know how hard it is to get this type of shot.

  30. j_au_en (64 months ago | reply)

    Not just a great capture of the leaping dolphin, but I really enjoyed the 2nd dolphin in the background about to break the surrface itself. Well done, timing is everything!
