This isn't a great photo, but I just wanted to show these wonderful creatures. They were swimming so fast and very close to the boat, so it was difficult to photograph them with the lens I was using at the time.

Yes, Bill; dolphins are gregarious and playful creatures. They are one of the several animals that seem to delight in play.Oct 22, 2019 20:29:10 #

How far out we're you. These tend to be common in deep ocean vs coastal like bottle nosed. Beautiful

Actually I think you underestimate your photo. You caught the dolphins in the water moving at a good clip and the detail is just super. Another thing I like about it is that there is no sign of the boat you are on so it's as though they are all alone and you, well, I don't know where you are! That's what makes a really good nature photo.

They are one of nature's smartest & kindest creatures and you were blessed with their presence.
And the memory is more important than the quality of the image and you definitely got the shot and that's what matters to me personally. And your commentary about the encounter is just as vital to the reader.
More please......I won't mind at all
