Photographer's Note
This is another photo taken at the Ocean Theatre in Hong Kong's Ocean Park.
These dolphins just amazed me. I couldn't believe the heights that they could reach. The jet of water in this photo is at the height of the man and yet these magnificent creatures still clear it by a few feet.
Tech: This photo was taken at full zoom from the back of the stand and so I cropped this section from the original and resized slightly The colours are natural. In my last dolphin shot, I had to increase the blue to match this one. Sharpened and added a black border.

Hi Andrew, and compliments for this one.
Of course quality and colors especialy are very attractive, but the main thing is to catch those at the right moment.
These flying dolphins are true Artists, dancing in the heights..
I like it very much.

Hi Andrew,
My compliments for these seires of the high flyers (Dolphins) it's very difficult for this image to make, nevertheless are the sharpness and the clarity very well, also the composition together with the colours are.
Well weekend Andrew.
John.

Another nice and dynamic shot from the dolphins show, Andrew. Good frozen action with their symmetric in-air posture, and fun to see the mixture of enjoyment and focus in the two animal trainers. Colorful and well-framed.

One more Dolphin action shot, Andrew, well showing what these amazing animals are capable of. Colors are great and I like to see the water pouring off their tails, giving a good indication of their speed from the water. Except for a small motion blur the sharpness is very good for a full zoom shot - just look at the guy holding the hose. The section you cropped is well composed. Very well done!

Nice synchronism Andrew, not easy to get them in good symetry and you did well. A little grainy but minor, the action is well captured, well done.

Hi andrew
Nice 'action shot' of these delphines making their show. A good diversion from the more common HK shots.
