Unusual perspective caused a moment of confusion -- I was expecting "sky" in the upper part of the image. I'd consider darkening it a bit so it doesn't look so much like tree-studded fog. Good stop-action and color throughout.
oh, how much fun was this to shoot! whale watching is definitely on my list of things to do before i die! thanks for sharing yours. i hope you are not getting some good comments and suggestions, and not getting overlooked in this monster-size challenge. as far as a challenge entry goes, i imagine that this is getting classified more as a 'snapshot', that is, an image that documents you went whale-watching, than a 'challenge entry', where you are presenting something that will visually arrest the viewers. sometimes, a simple snapshot can do that when it is processed for that purpose. this might be more 'stunning' if you had cropped it down to the whale's tail. the key is to really look at your images to see what you can pull out of them. now, remember, all of this is just my opinion. you have a nice image, and i'm sure you had a wonderful afternoon. please don't take this challenge personally. good luck in this and the coming challenges!
Well it would have been amazing to see what I'm sure you saw the day you took this photo. Unfortunately the image itself doesnt quite inspire in the way I'm sure the actual event did. I'd like it if you zoomed in a bit further to get some of the details of the whale.
Nice shot but way to grainy. If the picture was a little more clearer I think it would have done a lot better. Good luck and keep up the good work in 2005.
