Sorry for the noisy image, but this was my only shot of an Orca poking its head up. . . .

(Cropped to about 15% of the original frame b/c he wasn't very close to the boat.)

It's exciting to see one in the wild, but I think you could get a better shot (without rain and seasickness) at Marine World (Or whatever it's called this month)

A good catch! I'm sure it was exciting to see them, even with the rain.
