Wow! Great capture Bob. Sure makes up for those shots we did not get in Maui. Congratulations on another super finish. I assume the kids were along for this one...they must have been very excited.

I was expecting this image to do well. Quite a difficult one to shoot with telephoto lens and from a rocking boat.

Needs a bit more post production, but what a catch! You don't see that every day.

This is a great capture! VERY hard to do on the deck of a rocking boat with a telephoto lens (at high noon because that's when they come up for air of course!) Obviously I have baggage... but really... this is great.

I love the humor! Humpback Whales are ubiquitous- not remotely elusive. The shot is great though. Quite refreshingly blue and wavy!
