Sorry dear Uncle Ted :-( <<<<<<<<<<<< AAAHHH Philippe MON AMI! :-) Not quite so, as Marc offered: >> It's the time the dolphins choose to enjoy the waves and the current. >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Marc/La+Passe/<<<<<<<<<< Yes the size and beautiful scenic's of the ocean was and is so beautifully powerful! No question! But the "SCENIC" WASN'T THE REASON FOR TAKING THE PHOTOS! It was the Dolphins! ERGO: MARC should have used at least a 400mm lens to be tighter on the dolphins! But not so tight to become a "Portrait element of the Animal." And considering the distance between photog and animal a 400mm wouldn't have been close enough to create any kind of "PORTRAIT EFFECT!" ALL IN ALL, IT'S STILL A BEAUTIFUL OCEAN SCENIC. But with a longer lens it would have been many times more powerful and beautiful! :-) However! Not so long as we see only the dolphins!"
