Grand Prize

Dolphin Encounter
by Dave Weldon
while photographing surfers in El Porto, out of the corner of my right eye, I saw a splash. I quickly aimed about 100 yards out, where the surfer and the splash occurred, and just a second later I caught this jump sequence with El Porto surfer Brett White in the foreground.
