Breaching Humpback

Another image from the amazing breaching show that occurred right in front of our boat during my recent Great Bear Rainforest tour. I was fortunate to have my shorter lens with me (the 400-600mm lenses everyone had set up would've been too long) to capture a few shots as the whales breached well within 50 meters of the boat.

I imagine the centered composition won't appeal to everyone, but I played with a few variations and this was most appealing to me.
