Hi Peter,

I moved this image over to the Man & Nature Gallery where it belongs (something I should have done with your previous post as well I realise now

).

This is another beautiful whale image and the person in the frame is key in providing that grand sense of scale.

Prety amazing to be next to such a huge animal. The scale of the diver reaaly drive the image home. Like the reflection above - so used to seeing it below in the frame.

Love the patterns of light on the whale's snout Peter as well as the reflection overhead.

Your friend and the reflection really help put this shot in perspective. Great capture!

Terrific shot. The rays of light in the water and the 'upside down' reflection are the icing.
