This portrait features a mother calf and escort Humpback Whale. The whales were curious and came in for a close look. I call this image “family unit”, as the whales look as if they are a tight nit family but the escort is not the calf’s father and is most likely hanging around the female hoping to get a chance to mate.
Beautiful Humpback whales!
Markus Davids, are you up for the 5 day B&W challenge?
