G'day all

The other day I came across members of our local dolphin community surfing the incoming waves ~ here's one, believed to be a juvenile

As always, feedback welcome

I won't mention positive and negative space Phil It's a cracker of an image. you've captured the moment well and it looks like the dolphin is really enjoying it.

How good is it to get that close to such a magnificent animal. Even better that you managed to get a nice picture of it. Fantastic.

Twins!! fantastic Phil. When you say "Try this one" did you mean try to fix it?

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day Isac

Pic -1 had less than 'good' space on the RHS whereas pic -2 has better 'good / lead-in' space so the 'try this as a better image' came along
However your qwik-fix looks okay too

You'll have to forgive me Phil, I'm a bit of a stickler for framing shots, whether it's in camera or post. Something I was introduced to a long time ago (especially with moving subjects) so to me it's probably more important than it is to others. They are still fabulous photos

[Ozzie_Traveller]

Okay matey - and your editing / insertion of foreground is pretty seamless too - spunky job!!

You're too kind mate. Many years developing these skills

Some very good timing in these shots.
