Hey, it's in a Sea World park, but it's still wildlife... right? :scratch

    Much better than the Shamu shots I got this past October in SeaWorld San Diego :)

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I believe the two in the top photo are bottlenose dolphins. In the bottom photo, I think the front two are Pacific white-sided dolphins, and the two in back are bottlenoses.

    BTW, here is a crop from the top photo... I think this is a more effective image:

    That's one advantage of having a lot of megapixels... even after cropping away over 2/3 of the original image, this version is still 3.7 megapixels!
