A Quiet Moment

    Newer Older

    Two young ones in awe of the great Beluga. They were oooing and ahhhing then squealing with excitement. I was watching them so intently that I almost forgot to press the shutter. They are such swift animals it is hard to get a shot where you can see the whole whale. What a wonderful moment this was.

      This is nice. Maybe even a little better that a shot I have at the same window.

      Beautiful shot! The fact that the entire whale isn't in the shot actually makes it interesting and leaves place for imagination.
      Here's a similar one that I took in the Barcelona Zoo a few months ago:
