Aw, what a cutie! Great shot, I can't believe you got it jumping out just perfect like that.

Great dolphin action shot.

What an experience that must have been to be able to see this dolphin up close. Nice shot.

Nice capture. I would crop out the top part and just bring all focus to the fish

I can swim faster than you can... Great sense of texture on the dolphin's forehead and snout. Nice angle too.
Post actions
He's adorable. And he smiles! :)
Post actions
They always look as if they are smiling... The emerald green water really catches my eye.
Post actions
Wow - I'm amazed you were able to get a shot like this! Great shot!

Nice, it's so cool when they follow boats like that

Voted earlier coming back to leave a comment. Hey, I've read about this dolphin who visits boaters down in the Florida Keys! So this is a capture of this friendly creature - must have be quite a cool experience!!! Great shot of him leaping up out of the water! As much as I take enjoyment in looking at the photo I do have a critique (I know, I know picky picky right;-) ) I think the focus should and can stay on Mooch (or Moochie as he is sometimes called) by cropping off the top third of the photo. The wide expanse of ocean, boat wake, and land in the distance does nothing to compliment the scene. Mooch is the star of this photo, bring us closer to him so that we can get an up close and personal view of his beauty.

WOW, this is just fantastic, I've not seen anything like this before ... I really shouldn't criticize but I would be tempted to just crop the top off as I'm not keen on the oof green which is the only thing stopping me giving you a 10 so 9 it is :)

Good catch! Nice and clear.

Great moment captured, very well composed.

Good capture, decent composition, but something about the colors throws me off...
Post actions
WOW - Like he's chasing the boat. Oh, I guess he was. LOL
Post actions
great catch, maybe a little closer crop to bring the dolphin more into the viewers eye? jmo
Post actions
How cool!!!! Very good clarity, this must have been fun to see.

Beautiful friendly looking dolphin.
Post actions
wow nice but the composition is a bit different from my taste , I'd put it on the opposite corner (probably :))

Incredible! What a capture. Nice job, well done indeed.

Good but I wish it was all water without that area of sky ang land up top!

Nice shot. Image would be stronger with the horizon cropped off.

cool shot!! cropping off the top would be better IMO, 6

Great capture but needs a crop for impact. Try cutting off the top 20%. A 6 could have been a 7.
Post actions
Great capture, the focus is exactly where it needs to be.

7 for an amazing capture.

Nice of him to jump up and smile for you, wasn't it :) I love dolphins, and I think this photo is quite special.
Post actions
Cute :) I know its probably impossible to get them more in focus but it would have been great if you could have. With everything kind of blurred it ends up looking a little snapshot-ish. Also - maybe crop to have the dolphin more in the upper third of the frame as opposed to the middle?

Cool action shot. Great timing.
Post actions
excellent timing for this capture. must have been hard on a fast moving boat! tones and focus excellent! 8
Post actions
Must have been thrilling shooting this...
Post actions
Awesome capture! Would love to see something like that in person.
Post actions
Right place, right time. Great capture.
Post actions
WOW!! Lucky you! My only complaint is the background.. I would have cropped this about a 1/3 of the way down.
Post actions
Awesome action/nature shot. Well done on getting the dolfin so sharp.
Post actions
i just love dolphins fantastic get
Post actions
I don't ever remember seeing any dolphin photos on DPC like this, ever, until this challenge. Yours is the second. I recall the other one being slightly better, only because it was a more exotic dolphin. Great timing and capture though.
Post actions
great job on stopping the motion and focus, well done
Post actions
was this taken in the sarasota, fl area? i have a close friend who recently met a dolphin named mooch on a boat off the coast of fl! anyway, great photo and perfect timing with his jump!
Post actions
Dolphin!!!! Instant fave. Great detail and clarity on the fella, the water in the wake is also really great. What a fun shot. I'd have cropped out the land at the top. I don't think it adds anything and keeps drawing my eye away from all the fun.

Post actions
I have dreamed of at shot like this
Post actions
...but at least he is smiling about it!
Post actions
Wow, that's pretty cool! Not something you see every day. Do I spy the fin of a second dolphin back there? My only complaint is that I wish you had given us a 720px version to look at.

i think this would work better if the shoreline on top of the shot was cropped off.

aren't they beautiful creatures? Excellent action capture and nicely composed too
Post actions
Cool. He must have been playing with the boat.

Flipper!!! great colors, fun creatures aren't they

I find the horizon a distraction, a crop to about 1/2-way between horizon and the top-left-most part of the wave keeps my eye from wandering too far from your way-cool subject. When all is said and done I say "Nicely done!"
Post actions
Great stop motion! I don't care for the blur, or gunk on the left side of the image...
Post actions
What an amazing achievement to capture this in the wild. Brilliant well done. Good luck for the rest of the challenge.
Post actions
WOW, what a timing! Perfectly executed.
Post actions
Great catch! :D Personally I think I would have cropped the top w/ the land part off.

Wow! That almost looks fake because it's hard to believe that would really happen. Amazing moment captured!
