That's a tragic story. There was a news article about similar strandings in Tasmania earlier this year or last year which suggested that sonar from a naval (possibly submarine) exercise causes damage to the whale's navigation system. I think other research has also concluded similar findings. It is a really dramatic photo.

That is a heck of a photo. Not only is it very newsworthy and timely considering all the worries we have about the environment these days, but it is also nicely intimate.

Comment by pcody:
This is just an incredible shot. It's so abstract with the reflections on the surface of the water. I don't usually like pictures of death, but this is more like a poem.
