On our recent trip to Asia, we took a whale watching trip in the Gulf of Thailand which is an excellent spot to photograph Bryde's Whales feeding on schools of small fish.

Another amazing shot Nate. I love the open mouth and the fleeing fish. At first this looked like a B&W to me, which I am sure would work very well.

The "flying" ( sad

) fish really make this one Nate. Great capture.

I've never seen an image like this, with all the little fish jumping everywhere. Really excellent.
