Flying High

What a shot! I could only dream to capture something like this. Been on two whale watches on the west coast and all I ever see is a fluting tale. Nice!!

great shot. I think you got the expression. But in fact I feel so since I watched th movie about Moby Dick

...and beautifuly surprised moment

Congratulation on an extraordinary photo. The first I think I ever seen of a breeching whale parallel to the waves. With something like this, you usually only get once chance. You made the most of it. --jim

Thank you for not choosing a slow shutter speed to give the water that "artistic" (whatever) blur ....

Unbelievable! This is the shot I've always dreamed of getting ...

F/8 and there!!

Saw the thumbnail and it's less than great, but full size ... To say much more than "Majestic creature, nicely captured" would be nit picking.

My first thought was....how did he get that shot from a moving boat? You managed to capture the sharpness of the whale itself, while giving your viewers the feeling of movement with all of the splashing water...well done, Bill!

absolutly stunning and great clarity. with that much lens one has a habit of getting atmospheric haze. congrats on a onece in a life time amazing dream shot. i'm at a loss for words now........

Excellent, excellent photo and perfect catch. Once in a life time opportunity.

Perfectly Clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So why didn't you get him to jump a little higher (smile) Well done Shot !!! Wish I was there !!!!

Very nicely done. Thank you for the details. I have been on whale watches and a shot like this is truly special.

The best whale shot I have ever seen.

What a moment, what a lens!

I hope to someday put my name at the bottom of a shot like this...or to even get to see a sight like this. Great Capture. Time for me to shop for some equipment. I don't think my G3 would pull this one off. :-)

Thank you for all your wonderful comments, And

Thanks again, Bill Andrade
