Good whale watching photos are a real fluke

I love this image! Since I live 1000 miles from the nearest ocean, the few times I have seen whales "in person" have been exciting and memorable. The first time I was in Alaska on a halibut boat. I was in back and the guys were in front - fishing. A whale actually breached...close enough to the boat that I could have gotten a tremendous shot. However, I was so gobsmacked at actually seeing a whale that I stood there, mouth open, in awe, and completely forgetting the camera in my hands. It was like time stood still. The memory is seared in my brain - the picture...well, I do have the memory. Your image is a perfect representation of the challenge and underscored in my humble opinion. Thank you for bringing back to mind a memory I cherish.

I like how the image is blurred in the foreground and just behind the subject of the image. Not sure how it fits the theme, though.

Love it. Nice quote, format is spot on and what's not to love about a good moon shot? Top 3.

Someone STEPPED on that bear's head! Although I guess not, polar bears have pointy heads :-) And I see by the 1994 he's a Lillehammer bear, which I appreciate because I have been there long ago.

your treatment wonderfully vivifies the tiger fur's texture.
