Nice shot, light is good, I'd maybe crib that you should have included all the reflections in the shot but a nice candid shot.

I have personal reservations about these creatures in captivity but that's just me!

nah, its not just you Tina - I was recently told that for every 100 dolphins caught for captivity, just 5 actually make it to the display areas (many die from being caught, most die in transit, others in holdiing areas etc...) and those that do make it to the display areas have a severly shortened life span. Yet despite this, still some countries want to put more into captiviety, one being a brand new site being planned for Gilbraltar. Why on earth would they want one there when all they have to do is look out into the sea? Crazy.

Anyway, enough rant. Good pic, nicely framed and good colours
