My Daughter's Super Awesome Photo of "Two Fisherman"

I have been trying to get my family to spend more time on the water. My wife had been wanting to see and photograph the the moonset into the ocean in La Jolla for some time now. Everything lined up perfectly for Tuesday of this week. Zero Swell, very warm for January, clear weather.

We get out on the water for the moonset at sunrise and see a pod of dolphins working a bait ball. Paddled over to them and spent an hour photographing them as they circled us the whole time. Super awesome and my wife loved it. Then she says to me that I have to bring my 18 year old daughter out the following day (yesterday) for the same experience.

So I did a repeat with my daughter. I put her on a pod of dolphins for an hour. Another super awesome experience. We did get to see some whales but they were way out there so I will leave that for another day. Two days in a row in La Jolla without a fihing pole

To encourage my girls to spend even more time on the water, I said let us have a family photo contest of photos of dolphins. My daughter is currently in first place with the photo below.

Here is my daughter's super awesome photo of "Two Fisherman". Sorry for the watermark, but this high end photo is very marketable and I want to protect my daughter's rights.

Good seeing you as well, How did you guys do?

Her photo looks fantastic really big as it is sharp and it is a huge digital file.

Here is my best one so far. I need some showing the dolphins head and eyes. I will get it, I just need to sped a lot more time without my fishing pole.

Ox, great meeting you on an awesome day on Lake La Jolla.

Cad, yea I bought the kayak 3 1/2 years ago to photograph from. Two days after buying the yak I discovered kayak fishing, got addicted and only fished this whole whole time. Now I know I need to bring a camera every time there will be good light.

Bob, yes her photo is available for sale but it is not online. I sent you a PM.

I can not stop looking at her photo. There is so much going on in the image. The fisherman is going out to find fish. The dolphin is coming in to find fish as the spray from his last breath is still visible. The super rich La Jollans overlook the whole event.

I plan on enlarging the image for my office as every time I see the image, I think, "Man, I gotta go kayak fishing"
