[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
The dolphin of Commerson is one of the smallest species of dolphin. It is characterized by a head, dorsal fins and caudal black, the throat and the remainder of the body are white. Although resembling a porpoise we are well in the presence of a dolphin. It does not have a nozzle. Its weight can vary from 35 to 85 kg. It is very fast and the guides of the place disadvises taking a camera, because it would be too fast?!?! It is true that it moves quickly.

Hi Christian

I often see a bird or small Animal I have not heard of before, but I'm so suprised to see a species of Dolphin that is totally new to me, and what a beautiful sight it is, superb action shot and great focus considering there speed, lovely colours too.
