Absolutely amazing! On all the whale watches I've been on, I've never seen one breech. Great timing and great capture!

Great shot! The only humpback I've seen jumping like that was far away, from the top of a cliff in Newfoundland ;-)a I wish I'd seen one from that close...

Can you see how green with envy I am? This is a fantastic shot, looks like everything was going right for you this day. Calm seas, clear weather, and to top it off a cooperative whale.
