Looks good. I might try bringing out more detail in the lower fin.

I think its a great shot. I just came back from Juneau and didn't see anything like this! Only some slow rolls and several tail shots. Nothing worth posting.


All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.

nice timing! looks like a good shot to me (at this size anyway)

Hey you should photoshop in a little row boat with some oblivious tourists right where the whale is gonna lands and post it and it will get picked up by some blogs and then yahoo will have it on their home page with some crazy title as if it were real :-)
