Dolphin Leaping Over Seagrass at Senegal Sunset

by Carl Day

Orange low-angle sunlight spills across the water surface, illuminating a silver dolphin mid-leap as it breaks through a foaming bow wave. Below the arching body, a submerged meadow of long, dark green seagrass blades sways gently in the wet season current. The water column glitters with suspended particles that catch the fading light, creating a field of scattered sparks against the deepening blue. Layers of depth recede from the sharp foreground spray to the hazy horizon where the sky meets the sea. The dolphin's sleek skin reflects the warm glow, against the cool shadows cast by the breaking wave. A final ripple spreads outward from the impact point, distorting the reflection of the orange sky.
