Ike, Orca @ Marineland
Just before the second-last splash session of the day... this is Ike!
He was very excited, totally ready to get the show started... but he did come down to visit briefly. Such a cutie.
Technically, I really like this shot. I like the composition, the symmetry (hence the title). I wish there hadn't been a million tiny bubbles in the water, that is what those white specs are, they aren't noise. Really liked the colour too

Really beautiful photo, Aelia! It seems no matter what angle you take a picture of an orca, it always turns out beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing Ike on Friday - your super pictures have me all excited!

His pectoral flippers are looking mighty big in this one!
The different colours in the rippled water above his head are just gorgeous.

His pecs may seem big, but let me tell you, his fluke is HUGE! I couldn't help but stare at his fluke and dorsal, he's grown a lot over the winter
Thanks, I quite like the water too

The composition is beautiful in this one. I love how calm and serene everything looks. You see so many action shots of Ike, it's nice to see him looking chilled out for once in a while!

Thanks so much! The composition was my favourite thing about it. I knew the second I heard the shutter that this shot was going to get posted on dA
He does tend to be a bit, hyper... lol... it is nice to see him acting relaxed every once in a while

any time... I can't believe Aurek turned six on saturday! lol I spent my class time drawing a picture of him.

Holy crap... Aurek is six? He's still frozen at the age of 3 for me... and that means that Juno will be 7 next Monday (the 6th), and Klondike will be 7 on the 13th... wow... they are getting so old! I seriously can't wait to see how big they are now!
Oooh... can I see this picture you drew of him

I'll see if I can find it. My friend and I were passing notes on it as well, so I don't know if I threw it out or not. I've got a few things to scan, when I get the time to.

Ridiculously stunning colour, pose, position, focus, lighting, detail and all that good stuff. This photo is just amazing, I'm totally blown away with the quality of it! How the heck did you pull this off? Well done!
