Somewhat an usual point of view for a whales tail, but it deffinetly is a power image.  Looks good to me as is.  Thanks for sharing.

Nice pano of the whales tail and back, as John said it's unusual but that is part of the reason I think it works well. devil

Hi Peter,

One thing I've noticed about photographing (and posting) whale shots is that viewers are often unable (or "unable at a glance") to determine exactly what they're seeing. On this shot I think there's enough shape and form shown that most viewers would be able to tell this is a whale tail, but you might lose a few on this one (because they can't tell what they're looking at). I do like the unusual nature of this shot.

Cheers...thanks for sharing...

Brad
