Thank you. I'm glad you like the image. It is totally original with no digital manipulation. The image was taken at Anthony Key Resort in Roatan, Honduras. The shot was taken with a Tamron 28-200mm zoom lens on a Nikon 8008s camera using Fujichrome Velvia 100 slide film. The slide was then scanned with a Nikon Coolscan 4000 slide scanner. I did not record the camera settings, but I metered for the sunset while keeping the shutter speed as fast as possible to freeze the dolphin and water.

Well I am very impressed Michael. It is so hard to know just when the dolphin will jump and you caught the moment perfectly. I hope you win with this shot!!!

Michael,
I can't even imagine capturing a shot like this! This truly looks like a 'once in a lifetime' shot. Great work on being ready to frame and expose properly for this. I agree with others -- if this is not a winner, I don't know what it takes!
God Bless,
Greg
