Minke Whale

This is a best shot I could get. Whales were not cooperating at all :-(

Canon EOS 30D
1/500s f/6.3 at 300.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Nice shot!
It's all such a crap-shoot anyway---whether they will cooperate or not. You did well!

You need to try our west coast whales. We can pet them (Scammon's Lagoon, Baja CA, MX). This is a very nice shot though Michael. Beautiful arch of the back on the water.

Well, it is still a whale and a beautiful image at that! V

How rude of them not to cooperate. Still a cool shot.

Still a thrill to see them in the wild!
Nice shot

I love the blues of the water. I think it's a good whale body shot - you can see the scares on the poor dear.

what a shame you couldn't get the head - mean whales, perhaps they
were having a bad hair day? ;o)

Wonderfully clear capture! Can feel the spray!
