4 commentsNice action image of the whale. I do wish there was more detail in the water spray behind the whale. Must have be exciting to have seen and photographed this action. Thanks for shairng.
Interesting to compare to your other post, which I think is significantly stronger. Here, I really miss the horizon and the drama of out-of-the-water extension is missing. That said, if I was the camerman in the boat and this is all I captured, I would have been pleased!
So sad this only has a handful of comments. What a capture! As someone who has tried to photograph whales from a boat I can tell you this is no easy feat. You nailed all aspects of the image here - be proud of this one! I agree that the horizon and background would aid this image a bit - but for someone who isn't a pro, having access to boats and whales on a daily basis, this is an excellent take home
Hi
