Humpback whale's airborne.

Great action shot! What detail you got on this whale...wow!! fantastic shot!

Did you have a motor or was that a single shot? Beautiful image! Congratulation.

Incredable clarity and sharpness, Daniel. Well framed and exposed. I guess just another shot, heh? ;-)

With out words!

Congrat Daniel, really great shot.

Thanks

Well worth all the trouble. Great shot and sharp as well.

Man I envy your shooting locations :) As usual, great work.

Congrats on a great reward of your skill (manual focus -!! was it far enough away that you could prfocus @ infinity?), and dedication )3 hrs at a time).

........close enough that this is nearly full frame.

 

If you are lucky, they get into a pattern and you can dial in a hulluva lot closer to where they might come up next.

You made your luck by investing your time and earned your reward. Thanks for the clarification.

Incredable! This is the shot I have been trying to get for years...Good job..

I would rather have seen the other side of the humpback but this is super and superbly timed, composed, and exposed.

Great.

I know how difficult it is to get a shot like this having been to Hawaii in the winter to see these beauties for myself. This is an outstanding photo! I commend you on your patience and timing, Daniel!

Excellent work!

What an excellent shot!

WOW !!!

Amazing! I really envy you. The closest I got was 50 meters away from a spermwhales tail. This is truely nature at its best. Great shot

Inspirational use of a real camera.

Terrific shot. How can we get the elves' attention!! This needs to be seen. Now, I really am inspired to do my ocean series. I followed Scott's comments here. Thanks Scott!

 

I understand those whales will spit on you too! Your camera must have been in dire straits.

extreme fantastic moment, captured in this photo!

Congrats.

A very difficult one to get.

Shutter speed, sharpness and color is real excellent. Many photos like this one, but few with so much details. Congratulations

This is terrific. Weldone, mate!
