a Day in March at the Port with the Dolphins

Port Adelaide, South Australia. One day in March we took our kids on one of the Dolphin cruises, it was a really hot day. We are in winter at the moment so this is a little inspiration for what we have to look forward to in a few months time.

this one was straight out of the camera, no cropping, no super duper improvements.

    i think i would have been tempted to do a seperate crop of just the horizontal band of cluds…. they look incredible….......... b

  • Christopher Bi... replied

    Great capture c,great colours , and the clouds give it and almost 3d effect,lovely work x t

  • Christopher Bi... replied

    thanks t, yes the clouds worked well, better than i expected really. i think i agree with you, the clouds and i would say the ripples in the water give a bit of a three d feel to it. i did try cropping it, but it didnt have the same effect. so its stock! thanks for the encouragement…...............c xx
