Leviathanfafner, IMO you should use multi-shot option so you can choose the best one, since they ar in movement, it is difficult to capture tehm in the best part of the show
Good job!!

I did use the continuous feature on my camera and this the shot I ended up liking. I got a few more shots I like from that show as well on my flicker page.

I went to your flickr, your 18-2 IMO has more impact because of the body of the killer whale is on the air and you can compare against the audience of the show
good job!!

Really cool shot. I looked for the other one on your flickr page, and you live by me. I take pictures at that abandoned building with all the graffiti on it too.

Good subject. Just a tip, in future you can plan your shot. You should decide the subject, Whale only, Whale & Diver. Try to exclude what is not needed. Find good spot to get a close up. Practice your AIM. Try to anticipate what the subject is going to do.
This helps a lot and lots of practice. Best wishes
