Out of the blue

Out of the blue

Piece description from the artist

There are certain moments in life where I just stop and think to myself, "is this real"? This was one of those days. I captured this photo of a pod of Spinner Dolphins, which I have done a hundred times before, but this was special. The clarity of the water, the shallow depth, the natural lighting that pierced the surface at that exact time of day. This will always be one of my favorite captures of these animals that I love so much.
