Kathy Brown, Jumping for Joy (Animal & Nature 2021)
It was a windy cool late afternoon in winter when i was out on the rocks of a headland in Coffs Harbour hoping to capture some images of migrating humpbacks when along came a very large pod of dolphins. It was a beautiful moment to witness their playful and energetic behaviour as they continued to jump, dive and roll around playfully with their babies and amazingly they all looked like they were smiling! I was so happy to quickly capture this beautiful bottlenose dolphin as it leaped joyfully out of the deep blue sea.
