19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Happy Dolphin

This shot was a very lucky moment when a Dolphin followed our boat as we were heading towards the island of Fajal which is part of the Azores Islands (Portugal). He jumped out of the water once, and immediately I switched to burst mode and started shooting when he appeared for a second time.
