 I am not expecting this to do well but since I love this shot I am submitting it anyways.

This was one of the neatest experiences I have ever had. We were out on our boat in the Gulf only about 1 mile out. We saw one dolphin jump so we headed over towards it. Next thing we know they are all around us. There was at least 20 of them including a few babies. They stayed right around the boat. I took about 400 pictures. There are some good snapshots but to me this was myfavorite.

I bet this would look stunning in black and white, or perhaps with higher contrast.

I wonder how this would look as a b/w?

The focus looks fairly good. The downside to your photo, to me, is the yellowish color to the water and the crop.

A decent enough photo, but not a whole lot that really grabs my attention.

Lighting looks a little flat and the colors seem overly dull. Otherwise a nice photo. 6
