Belly flop! (zoo)

Made a quick trip out to San Diego for this one...lol, from a trip 4 years ago. Seaworld of San Diego was the high point of our trip, with the dolphin show being the best part. This is a crop of the original, taken at ISO 100, 1/500, f/4.5, hand-held, AWB. Comments always welcome and thanks for viewing.

Timing was perfect Jim - love the look on its' face (really looks happy - and that makes the viewer happy too) and you clearly show how much vertical these guys can get.

Dolphins are such amazing animals and it certainly is a real highlight to see a dolphin show. Nice frozen capture of this high-flying dolphin. I like the body curve and the wonderful look on his face. . .they always look like they are smiling. :smile:
