Nice collection Bob, all appear a little dark on my monitor.

Very nice. I agree that they may be a touch dark, but not by too much.

Cute cub. Was mom nearby? I assume she wouldn't let it roam too far from her.

Rob I am often told that my iages appear dark on screen. Something I need to work on I guess. Thanks for looking & commenting. Take care. Bob

Nice mix Bob. I particularly like the bear cub.

(Just FYI - also dark on my monitor. I assume you've calibrated yours).

Well done

Dick you are probably right about the dolphins size. I was taking shoreline landscapes with a 180mm lens when I spotted him @ a distance. There was no time to change to a larger tele lens. I just snapped what I was able. Might have been a better shot had the creature been nearer I guess. Oh well maybe next time I will get that. The purpose of this thread was basicly to show the photo ops here for those interested in travel. My photos are never going to be the stand alone type you guys are used to seeing on this forum.Thanks for looking & take care. Bob
