I knew Blue's picture was a good one, the minute I saw it.

It was a great contest!

Nice job. Hey Callalily I can feel the spray of those waves and GermanWatcher I'm envious the closest I ever got to a good whale photo
was maybe just glimpse of its tail oh that and some motion sickness on the boat

Thanks for the honorable mention/host's award. This was a tough one.

I have to comment on the humpback. That is a amazing shot, and from experience, I know a very difficult one. Great work!

Thank you all for the kind words. Blue, I bow to your superior talent. 95 % of the whale shot was pure luck...
