IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a photographic submission, NOT to be confused with stock. DO NOT use, alter, or reference! Don't do anything at all with it! :shakefist:
Also sorry to say that if you don't comment, I probably won't have the time to say thank you! So thanks in advance I guess!

Ike, Orca @ Marineland

Finally something for the orca fans eh? lol... Ike at today's 4:00 splash session... he is getting so big! When he waved his fluke at the end of the show, I couldn't get over the curve in his fluke... and his dorsal has grown quite a bit too! In no time at all, he'll be a giant... can't wait :XD:

The lighting was horrible for the show (ideal for underwater viewing, but terrible for the show...). Wish I'd have used a slightly faster shutter speed. Sadly this was the only shot worth salvaging from the splash session :( At least I'm learning...

:love: Look at that handsome man! He's so stunning, and looks so satisfied in this picture!

I can't wait for you to meet his mom Katina and big sister Kalina. They are the absolute highest jumpers around... and judging from Nalani, she's gonna be a high jumper too. And I'm sure Mr. Ike jumps high! :D

So nice !!! I love his pose ! :love:

Agree with the slightly faster shutter speed but you do what you can in not so favourable lighting conditions. :D

He really is a super handsome man! Really beautiful face :D
I think he is satisfied! He seems to LOVE doing the shows! Last year when the trainers would do shows, they would alternate between different orcas so that none of them were doing all of the shows in a day... but Ike HATED that! He would get really upset when another whale was splashing and getting attention, so he would often put on a little show of his own to try to regain some attention! This year, he's doing the brunt of the work, and appears to be loving it :XD:
Really can't wait to see Ike's family! I've seen some amazing shots of their high-flying feats!
Thanks so much for :+fav:ing!
:iconchaotica-i:

Thanks for :+fav:ing too!

I really want to get a lot of practice in all possible lighting conditions... it's the only way I'll ever learn :XD:
