Awesome! Our last trip to Hawaii we saw SO many whales on a boat tour, but unfortunately I didn’t have my SLR yet and my point and shoot just wasn’t fast enough for the couple of jumps they did. Can’t wait to go back and try for an amazing photo like this.
Great shot, Peter! I would absolutely love to go whale watching sometime.
