Thanks so much for the great review. I was so excited to see this whale so close!

Comment from jrconrad
Great catch. Nice that you got sharp detail on him. The mountains in the background give great balance. I wouldn't worry about the sky, it frames the whale nicely. Cheers, JR.

I love the detail on him, too.

Comment from michiganmike
A remarkable shot. You can tell from the angle of coverage in the background that it was not shot with a long telephoto. Great composition and very fine subtle colors.

Very nice capture indeed. You've caught him at the perfect moment with the waves splashing around him. Everything blends nicely and is well focused. Nice job!

Thanks so much for the wonderful review. Yes, I was extremely excited when I got this shot :)

Comment from soulfeeder
An amazing scene. I am impressed with your readiness, to have captured this magic moment. Great angle, showing that eye and the rough textures of the skin. Prominence of water movements and ripples. I think, that gentle and pale sky, is just right. A pleasure to view.
