This young humpback whale treated us to repeated tail slaps and plunges for quite awhile. He assumed perfect poses and we were thrilled to be able to get many great images.
While most humpbacks "fluke" when they do deep dives, it is generally the younger ones who do tail slaps (repeatedly slapping the water with their tails for reasons we humans do not understand) and breaching.
Since there was virtually no color in the water at this time of day, I converted this image to Black and White in Lightroom.
Watching whales, listening to whales, and marveling at them is one of my favorite experiences!
