      So pretty animal !!

      Absolutely stunning. Chin hit floor when I saw this! Timing, exposure (including the movement of the water from the blow hole) and composition....... And the end result looks almost like a painting and not a photograph. A brilliant poster perhaps?

      Whau! Amazing shot - so sharp!

      I was supposed to go whale watching there last year but it got cancelled due to bad weather :(

      Incredible shot. At first I thought it was digital art, not a real photograph at all. The smoothness of tone and intensity of colour is amazing.
