Just opened my computer and saw this link on my homepage.

Had to share it, as I love dolphins and expect many of you do too....and I'd rank these shots as some of the best I've seen for some time!

Enjoy while the link is active!!!

Thanks for posting a response :D
Looking at these shots, I'd suggest it's a case of "right 'tog in the right place at the right time".

So, local knowledge is a "must", to get these shots.

I'm aiming for this with my hawk photos, as we have a major number in the city here and I'm beginning to plot their movement/timing/habits​......

ya absolutely. on this side of the world you can take a tour to see whales off the coast but actually seeing them is never a guarantee. we have a local eagles nest here by the beach and i've been hoping to spend a day down there to maybe get some glimpses of them.

Agree....#5 is a classic, though I think #3 is in a class of it's own - I can barely work out the angle of the shot it's so surreal!

Oh, to be a dolphin who was also "into" photography ;)
