Cool capture! Reminds me of a Viewmaster image.

Thanks for the great comments everyone. I have to admit that we had an incredible day on the water with the dolphins. There were over 2000 in this group and they were everywhere from horizon to horizon. Luckily a few would do double or triple jumps in quick succession so I was able to get about eight good frames out of over 800 in two hours. Lots of frames with just water being splashed up! On another note, the boat we took out was capsized a few days later by a Blue Whale! Glad I wasn't there that day!!
