Words are not sufficient enough to express the feelings on such a scene.. I'm agree that it's gonna be his, maybe, the most important moment. I hope that this will be the sign of his luckyness..

What a one-in-a-million shot! We don't see many like this on TE, thanks for posting it. Small technical detail: the horizon is still tilted. Try rotating about 1.25 degrees counterclockwise.

What a special moment. I love everything about this photo - the composition, the fact that water is splashing off the dolphin, and the sense of pure joy portrayed in the pic. Really nice.

This is really a wonderful photo and the circumstances are amazing. I had a situation with a shrimp once, it jumped at me in the sea! It happened in the Black Sea, in Ukraine.

HE TOOK A DIGITAL CAMERA INTO THE WATER!?

I salute your relative! An amazing courage and even more amazing, the capture itself...the depth, the feeling that we are him, in the water, in this unique and ultra nature moment, of animal and human, meeting wildly in the wild water...OHH, this is an amazing moment!!!
Send my regards to your relative, he certainly deserves it!

Hi Nikos.
Is a splendid picture. But let me say that when I've seen the photo I've thought that was dangerous be so near of the water (dangerous for the camara, I mean). Isn't it?

About the photo, is very special moment and a good capture (perhaps the postprocessing has been important in the final result, anyway, good).

Regards.

Hello Nikos,

Exceptional capture. Good job keeping the camera dry and great job taking it at right time. lovely memory, good dof and nice light. Maybe, but just maybe the image will be more powerful if you crop some the lower part, it makes the horizon less in the middle of the image.

GREAT job though, i am jealous :-)

regards arnoud

I wonder how did the father shot this pic!!?? He was inside the water with a canon eos 300d? He is really sure of himself...
Excellent pic anyway. I love it.

God I love this image; there is so much energy and emotion/motion caught in it - but in a surrealistic manner.... its VERY dreamlike.

I feel as though I am there next to the dolphin and Spyros, having the experience of my life also!

It's wonderful, thanks for posting this. I am adding it to my favorites.

Nice picture! Especially because it was taken in the sea not in a water park. The free dolphin and the boy in the picture show how peaceful is this huge animal!
