Comment from Sange
Nice head/nose shot of this Dolphin Mary. Great focus and nice clarity on the eye and Teeth. Personally I am not a fan of SeaWorld after watching the film Blackfish. How they get these animals and keep them in tiny tanks after the shows angers me.
You did a fine job with camera techs here.

Thanks Sange, the holding pens at Queensland Seaworld are quite large but of course never as big as their own environment. :) Mary

Hi Mary!
That's a beautiful profile portrait of this elegant and interesting cetacean creature!
I sort of think that they enjoy performing for us and this one certainly does look as though he's having a great time!
'Good Show'! : )

Comment from michiganmike
A fantastic shot that really captures a bit of both sides of the issue of performing sea mammals. The toothsome smile is one thing but the downcast eye is another. Great composition and excellent details.
