My wildlife photography: the stripped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba. Probably my favourite species of the 5 I saw in my last cetacean watching trip in Açores. The large group moved incredibly quickly, jumping out of the water over and over again. They weren't that keen on contact with the boats, and they changed direction a couple of times; fortunately the boat captain behaved as it should, and prefered to leave the animals alone instead of stalking them. As for me, perfectly happy with the encounter, and for being able to snap a few photos from a distance; so glad for the big optical zoom!
