Now the Japanese have restarted whale hunting, could this become a rarer sight...TFS

Hello Klaus,
This is a fine action capture showing bird and whale in their natural behaviour!
A simple composition, telling the story well!
Greetings,

hi Klaus,
This is a rare picture! Love that seagull in the scene and that water spray from the spout, wonderful composition.
Very well done
Lise
