Flying W-O-M-A-N!, a photo from Tenerife, Canarias

Photographer's Note

At Loro Parque in Tenerife a female dolphin trainer took a high jump together with three of the dolphins.

A good performance in my view!

Hi Magnus, The title made me curious. This is fun: she's being pushed up by the dolphin!

Great shot and well seen!
I love the colors and action in this composition with the "tiny-dolphin" in the right side :)
Nice work

Hi, Magnus
You must have photo-shopped that lady there so high out of the water. But you did it excellent. I didn’t find any indication of this fraud. It is just as if it were a real unmanufactured picture.

Nice sunny action photo. The colours are amazing. The light blue reflection on the delphins is very nice. You took this picture on the right time, which is not very easy when everything goes so quickly. Good composition as well.

Hi Magnus,
Very nice action shot, excelent colors, very well saturated, good sharpness.I know 717 is not a very fast camera(i owned one).You got a lot's of lucky capturing this moment.Well done.

This is a great shot. First of all you took it in the right moment when the dolphins have half body passed through the ring but still is to see the "trail" of water. I have readen that some digital cameras have a delay between the moment you click and the moment they get the photo. Is your camera one of thoses?
Maybe the photo is not as sharp as it could, but it is a great one.

ChristianS (2997) 2005-02-12 16:36

Hej Magnus, jättefin, väl komponerad bild. Det som är utmärkande med bilden är delfinernas dynamiska hopp genom ringarna och allt vatten som följer med upp i luften.

Mvh, Christian

Jeg kan godt lide dette billede! Det ser imponerende ud hvad disse dyr kan gøre og hvad folk kan lære dem at gøre! Fint billede, Magnus! :-)

weswang (18247) 2005-02-13 14:06

This is a great picture in catching the jumping moment. Well focused colorful picture.

singuanti (15250) 2005-02-13 19:37

now that is one cool shot. the coloration of the dolphins is outstanding. this is a great catch because you were able to stop the action so well, while they're flying through the hoop no less. awesome work!

Jeppe (18654) 2005-02-17 14:15

Oh :-))) what a shot and what a perfermance - great timing of both woman, dolphins and photographer - thanks Magnus, for sharing this great shot.

danielswalsh (13597) 2005-03-27 10:36

That's a really cool shot Magnus!

From the thumbnail, I wasn't quite sure what you meant- it wasn't until I opened up the photo that I saw her. That really is an amazing act they do isn't it...

Nice shot, I like the fact that you caught everyone at thr perfect moment.
Well done!

Hello Magnus,
l'originalité au rendez-vous avec cette photo pleine d'action et de mouvement.
Il fallait la prendre au bon moment et c'est là presque le meilleur moment.
Excellents paramètres.
