[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This large Humpback Whale was actually sleeping. So altogether an easy shot: Large subject, little movement, good light. Don't we all wish that all animals were so easy to get on film (pixel that is)?

Hi Claus,
Wonderful capture of this whale! It's rare that we see one from a front view.
Nice sharpness and colours, great point of view.
Well done
Lise

Claus,

That's the first time I hear of a whale sleeping - but I guess everyone has to regenerate their energy somehow. That's quite the observation you made here. I am sure it was a thrill to watch from such a close distance. TFS.

Best Regards,

Martin
