Humpback Whale

Great shot, looks as though he really enjoys showing off to the passing traffic.

Lovely photo. Well caught.

Awesome shot! Great capture.
Yup, I'm green with envy, too.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the very nice comments. I suppose I should add the rest of the splash. So here goes.

We have seen lot's of breeching humpbacks in Alaska and a pod of feeding HB too. But no photos like this... those were pre-digital days
Watching a humback breech is like watching a greyhound bus jump out of the ocean...very awesome. Love your photos, Grizz...looks like you had quite an adventure in Alaska

Great capture and you will not see a humpback breech very often. In fact, the only time they can fully breech is when a female humpback has given birth and has been nursing. She then loses enough weight to totally breech.

Oh you lucky ******...
We've been on a few whale watch trips, and although we've seen fins & flukes, we've yet to see one breaching and/or jumping...
Great shots.
