[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This image does not leave much to the imagination, does it? I am suffering from a fever and after a long sleep I looked up some images for a presentation. I came across this image, taken already over two years ago in the lofoten.
This image was taken at the same trip.
For some reason the killer whales haven't come into Vestflorden in large numbers last three years. Some people say it is due to the warmer water which keeps the herring outside the fjords. I doen't know if that is true but let's hope these killer whales don't suffer from that.

Ha Jacob,

Een mooie foto met een lekker lage POV,iets wat mij nooit lukt van de brugvleuge,zo te zien werkte het weer ook mee,wel gistern hebben wij de reis naar spitsbergen geboekt (laatste week augustus,1e week september),wilde eigenlijk ietwat eerder maar wegens wat andere zaken konden we nog niet boeken en ik geloof dat het aardig populair aan het worden is,want we moesten aardig in de weer om uberhaupt nog dit jaar te kunnen gaan,in ieder geval hebben er zin in en nu maar hopen dat het weer een beetje wil meewerken,we gaan overigens met de Multanovskiy rondje spitsbergen,wellicht jouw bekend,

Paul

Hello Jacob

This must have been an exciting moment for you.
I love the silhouette of the whale on the water.
The lighting is low but creates a wonderful atmosphere.
Nicely composed in the frame.

Bonjour Jacob,
C'est une image grandiose, qui inspire un grand respect. Le sujet est magnifique, bien mis en valeur par la belle lumière de la surface de l'eau.
J'aime beaucoup aussi l'arrière plan, qui laisse entrevoir un site impressionnant. Les Lofoten, c'est très exotique lorsque l'on vit dans le sud de la France...
Bon rétablissement,
Hervé

Hoi Jacob

Moet geweldig zijn om deze dieren met je eigen ogen te kunnen zien. Een echte droom. Je hebt m mooi vastgelegt. Lekker vlak over het water. Geweldige rugvin. Heel indrukwekkend. Goed gedaan.

TFS, Thijs

PS beterschap;)

Hi again Jacob,
Very pleasing image to view, sad that it does not get the attention it deserves as this is a rare animal that doesn't get posted enough. I have very similiar images of orcas but still have not been able to get one breaching. TFS
Paul :)
