Nice capture, I like how the whale tail evokes the form of the seagulls. This might be improved by going to a square crop, and cutting out the water just below where the tail enters the water,

I wonder if any of the people on the boat managed to get the whale.

I love the gray/blues in this, sparked by that bit of color on the boat. A wonderful capture.
