[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Whale-watching... one of the most impressive things I've ever done.
Directly in front of you those giants of the oceans rise their majestic tail fin and dive for about 40min into the deepest depths (1200m).
This is the fin of a sperm wale. Those giants are 11-18m long and have a mass of about 20-50t.

I like the reflections of all the small waterdrops and the floating movement of the watermasses down the fin.

After resize some sharpening and noise reduction.

Hope you enjoy it :)

I also liked the reflection on her tail. Noise reduction gave a good effect. thanks for sharing.

Shot with perfect timing! There's sense of power, although it's impossible to see
the scale of that fin from the photo.

What a fantastic photo. It's for sure that this is one of the most impressive things a men can see.

Superb photo with all these waterdrops.

Greetings Jan-Arie
