Photos: Dolphins enjoy sardine feeding frenzy

This photo taken in July, 2008 by underwater photographer Alexander Safonov captures the moment of dolphins queuing up for a large "meal" of migrating sardines in waters near St. Johns, South Africa. Alexander Safonov travelled to the Port of St John's in June 2008 to record with his camera the Sardine Run - an underwater migration where millions of fish head eastwards from their cool spawning waters near Cape Town in search of zooplankton. He was fortunate to photograph five bait balls in his two week trip, winning the 2009 Sony World Photography Awards/the Amateur's Natural History category. [CFP]
