Well done, John. You have really used your creative eye for this one!

What interesting topiary (?), lovely light.

Wow, this is beautiful! I love the playful dolphin silhouettes, the golden light shining on the water, and I especially love the trees in the background!

Simply otherworldly - the silhouetted dolphins appear to be out of a dream sequence, something one might see in an existential French film from the 60s. The B&W works great here, letting the splash of color on the ground move the eye from left to right following the dolphins. Very moody fog and greyscale on the trees behind as well.

Nice use of light and shadows and a great entry for the challenge John!

I agree with Sky. This image has magic, John. Beautiful spot of light and the shadowed dolphins are wonderful. Very nicely seen and done.

John - my, my, my - this is breathtaking and yes, one of those magical photos that I so enjoy. The misted lamp post, the gilded water and the graceful dolphins - what more could one possibly want?
