Shooting into bright sunlight and reflected light off the water.... Terrible thing to do to a brand new lens but it did pretty well considering. PP is terrible as I don't have photoshop here in the USA.
C + C Welcome.

The second one is mesmerising.
Although I think if you frame a little lower and get rid of the sunlight, and snap while the dolphins are coming down, I think that would be more mesmerising.

i was just going to say that the first one looks great,
second shot...
timing is great
looks like a challenging exposure... i probably would have cropped the image to get rid of the overblown highlights (ie the sky) or shot it so the sky was not included (or at least, a lot less of it) in the crop.
but like i said, very challenging exposure, would have benefited to no end by using a ND filter.

The 2nd is very Douglas Adams-ish... I can just imagine the dolphins saying "So long and thanks for all the fish" while they flee Earth
Great timing, well done

Thanks all, I was a bit undecided about the crop as I was trying to show how high out of the water they were jumping. I agree about the sky though. I do have some shots of them "on the way down" I'll see if I can find a good one.

Sooooo, this is the quality of the pictures I should be expecting to get when Poon delivers me this lens in a few days? These pics are fantastic. I love the human reflection on the fish on the second picture. By the way is the last picture taken with the same lens? Keep enjoying your new toy.

The detail that 100mm f2.8 lens produces are just astounding...

Nope - The last one was taken with the Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro.
Thanks again all!
