This image of dolphins jumping was captured on November 28th from the shore of Pine Island located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina on at 3:22PM.
This image is pretty much straight out of the camera. I did crop some off the bottom. Other adjustments were to boost the contrast a bit and run noise reduction on the out of focus water in the background water. Resized for the web and selectively sharpened the dolphins.
Thanks for looking and of course any critiques.
Regards,
Phil

I agree Sabyasachi's crop improved the image (thanks). I booted up PS upon arrival home from work made a quick crop and then accessed BPN to post but found Sabyasachi had beat to it. Thanks again for you comments and suggestions.
