Wow ! these are amazing shots, especially the 2nd one. I looked at your smugmug gallery - awesome shots there too - I really loved the one with some birds along with the whale #28 is it, and the dolphins :clap #38 what is that ??! up close and evil looking ??!

Thanks folks,

#38 is the nose, well, I'd guess you'd call it a nose :) of a humpback whale coming up for a breath.

Wow I am sooooo jealous! I also love pictures of whales and I really like these. I sent you a PM about one of your otter pictures.

Thanks for giving me an excellent view :thumb

I am so impressed. With the animals and with the way you capture them.
I don't know if I would dare go to close as you seem to be, but hey, I have goosebumps. They are wonderful animals. I hope that your pictures can save some... Thanks for sharing those with us. (I looked at your others on smugmug, kept looking, looking and more looking)

Thanks very much Thomas, Shannon, Ben and Motokat.

Thanks so much Photocat, I have gotten too close to wild animals a couple of time, I try to be careful, really I do.. :D Things just must look safer through the lens...

If I thought that one of my pictures could save just one animal, that would make it all worth it to me...

Thanks again
