feeding dolphins

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

i know we shouldn't feed these things, but when they come alongside and you have some bait left over ...... this young girl had a ball doing this today at the annual snapper comp in whyalla ( biggest snapper was 14.6 kg's )

Great capture - any way you can get the image to her? I think she and her family would love it :)

Whilst I strongly disapprove of what is being done, that is one great capture.

yes i went there with a pic like that in mind and was so happy to get it ( more of her on my www ) there was about four of them in the marina and they all got well fed as there were quite a few boats in the comp, i believe her father fed them there as he saw i had a camera so thats why i put it under snapper competition on my site hoping he would do a search

thanks for the comments

That is an interesting behaviour to capture Rob.
I suspect that there is a lot of feeding goes on in the area having looked at your WWW. It seems as though this is a well learned behaviour. Cute but sad because you just know that one day some a** is going to slip one of the beauties a micky fin and that will be the end of them :cry:

yes it is a worry steve, cause there's plenty of dickheads that hang around the foreshore drinking and smokin, and there is a baby dolphin here too so it will learn to chase the boats in the marina as well ....

I agree with Oneputt wholeheartedly - great photo, and great to capture a 'moment', but not something you really want to teach 'wild' dolphins to do (says me, while about to hand feed a baby possum on my front deck :oops: )
