This dolphin portrait was taken while at Seaworld on the Goldcoast, Queensland, Australia in May 2007. Taking this close-up portrait was not as easy as it looks - the dolphins were jumping out of the water all over the arena & I didn't know where they were going to jump out from! I love Dolphins - they are so intelligent. Taken with the Canon EOS 400D; Sigma 50-500mm lens.

Fantastic Photo.. You'd think that motion blurring might get in the way, but it doesn't at all. Nicely captured.Miriam Foronda 05 Jul 2007

Stunning! This is an amazing shot... When I first saw this, I thought, "Umm... Nice piece of sculpture..." It took me a moment to realise that they were real! A first-class professional camera allows for first-class professional results. But it doesn't guarantee them and it certainly doesn't make a shot like this any easier to take...Caron Ryan 04 Jul 2007

I know what a great shot this is. We were there last September and yes they were so quick, jumping out of the water and you never knew where they were going to resurface. Well done!Jean M. Laffitau 08 Jun 2007
