Porpose playing in the bow wave of the SV Wahine out in the Gulf of Mexico. Experiment has shown me that to get them to show up well, I need to shoot 1.5 stops overexposed. Darkened a little, raised contrast to show the water splash better.
Uploaded for the "Blur" 30 day challenge.

Congratulations on mastering the exposure on these shots and sharing with us. Good color and blur, but IMNSHO the white strip at the bottom is distracting. I'd crop it out.

Hmm. I'm not sure about this one. I think maybe I'd like it better either more blurred or really sharp. More blurred would make it more abstract. Nice colors and composition either way!

I love the dolphins!! we sailed from Tortola to CT awhile back, and a school of them sailed along side of us; they were very playful & a joy to watch!

nice cature, the fg overexposure of the boat distracts a bit...

Nice abstract feel to it. The intense sea color is such a nice backdrop to the neutral of the mammal. I might tilt it to the left and crop out the white of the boat.

I like it a lot, lovely capture and colours, love the splash. Have you tried cropping the boat out? I can't work out if losing the boat would lose the point of the capture or not.
