Mona Lisa Smile, a photo from ネバダ, West

Photographer's Note

Dolphins are a widely distributed and diverse group of fully aquatic marine mammals. They are an informal grouping within the order Cetacea, excluding whales and porpoises, so to zoologists the grouping is paraphyletic. (From Wikipedia)

Taken at Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage Casino. A zoolike animal sanctuary hosting tigers, lions & panthers plus bottlenose dolphins.

Hi Eleu,

The dolphin is well placed in the frame. The point of view iis showing the details of the dolphin. The light going through the water has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Eleu,
I think it's sad to keep a dolphin in a pool or tank, I know that people like and admire them so much and love a close look or contact, but I'm sure that the dolphins would be much happier in the ocean. We can sometimes see dolphins running along the boats or ships, when we travel in the Aegean Sea. I like the colours and the intimate atmosphere in your picture. The dolphin seems to be dreaming. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

An amazing creature, deserve the good approach it receive from people, Eleu.
First and last time I saw Dolphins in the open sea was in 1972 in the Red-sea. Beautiful "portrait" pic. taken through the tank.
Have a nice weekend,
