Analog-x, I really like this. The Continental shelf extends out for 200 miles and averages 40-60 feet in depth so an underwater sea bottom would not be out of the question. Even a muted one will add diversity to the image and a muted one will still accentuate the mammal. The lighting seems a little too harsh on the dolphin for an environment, which absorbs light. As a rule, the deeper into the ocean the darker the water since light waves are gradually absorbed out. The bottom of your image seems to emit lighter shades of light, which would only be possible if the light was being reflected off the bottom such as from a white sandy bottom beyond the edge of the image or the bottom of a pool. Scenes like this bring back memories, nice work.
