After The Leap

This school of dolphins was swimming very close to shore, but this was taken from our room's balcony on Perdido Key. The middle dolphin, who is laying broadside had just landed from a wonderful leap....missed it by that much But, the whole family of dolphins were very entertaining, as they swam back and forth eating breakfast.

If you look at this full sized or use your ctrl + function to enlarge the photo, you can see that some of these are tagged and some are not.

I chose a framed, sinuous pano to highlight the whole school.

Dolphins are amazing creatures. Of course, living the Sierra Foothills I don't get much opportunity to see them.

The black doesn't do much for me, but this is an interesting image of their behavior.

I did the black for the challenge, so you would immediately see the dolphins.
