Nice timing to get the tail with the water dripping off it! A sight you were privileged to see and capture. Would like to see a little more contrast and a slight blue hue to give some vibrance to the colors.

Interesting view of this Whale Nancy. I am thinking that maybe a fraction of a second earlier the tail dripping could have been more spectacular, but of course I am just guessing as I was not there and have never even seen breaching whales in real life :wink: . I like Patricia's suggestion about the blue tone, I think that would work here.
