What the dolphin scene shows

The dolphin is captured above the water in an energetic leap, with waves below and a rocky island shoreline nearby. Sunshine and the sheltered cove create a bright coastal setting. Its curved body and cheerful expression make the jump the central action of the scene.

Interesting facts about dolphins near coasts

Dolphins may approach coves and coastlines when food is available or when they are traveling through shallow waters. They breathe air through a blowhole and must return to the surface regularly. Leaping can help dolphins move efficiently, communicate excitement, or look around above the water.
