Great. The backdrop didn't add much. Zoom or crop closer would add.

because the sky is a little blah, I might have cropped this down to bring the whale more into the foreground. IMO

Amazing timing!! I've spent hours floating on the water to see nothing more than a little hump slide by in the water.

well composed image, but a little soft and the colors are a little flat. i would try to change this to b&w and see how that would look.

Fantastic capture. The three horizontal "bands" are very powerful, making a great backdrop for the "action" subject.
Post actions
Great timing on the shutter.

Easy to see why this would be your favorite--I hope you write a story about getting this shot. If I was so lucky & this was mine, I'd hang it on the wall.

After spending many many hours photographing whales trying to capture a great breach like this i can start to appreciate all the skill and patience and timing this took. Well done!
