Another Orca
Captured this orca on my last day. Orca whales are pretty challenging to photograph.
Thanks for looking.

Canon 20D

I think I saw a couple of these up near Engineer Pass last week. Nice shot.

Yeah I saw them later down in Lake City! Killer Shot Man, just Killer. :toast:

Dude, you suck. I took a whale cruise out of Anacortes in April and one out of Seward, AK last June and though we saw plenty of humpbacks and gray whales there wasn't even a sniff of Orca.
(just kidding.) Nice shots...guess I need to go back to the Northwest

Dan - very nice image. Looks like you had a good trip.

Thanks for the compliments. I would like to spend at least a month up there trying to photograph these orcas. I was not quit ready to leave yet, but it is good to be back home.
