The perfect shot, a photo from Florida, South

Photographer's Note

Killer whales have had a great interest by me. I used to see them when I lived on the Puget Sound In the state of Washington. Here at SeaWorld I was able to get the perfect shot as they came out of the water.

Did do a little dodge and burn to highlight the water droplets with a crop and straighten.

Hello Jimmy,

I won't enter into the debate about keeping wild animals as performers but will say that this is an amazing photograph! It's an action shot, perfectly timed and amazingly sharp.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Jimmy,
A very wheel timed shot with an impressive sharpness. Making this in B&W was the only option.
Regards.

Hi Jimmy,
I am just planning my trip to Orlando for after Easter but I think I will focus on Disney itself this time.
Great capture of the killer whales, although the shows are amazing it is not easy to get a decent shot without people around. I have one HERE but my POV was so much less attractive. People have complained under my photo that it is terrible to keep the animals and benefit from their misery, on the other hand I don't eat meat except for chicken :)
Great capture with the water drops so well captured frozen in the air.

Excellent reportage,
M
