May 23, 2016, Humpback Whale

I had captured a great sequence of photos of a humpback whale about to dive.  I didn't include it in the original wildlife sequence batch due to size.  I had time on the flight home to combine it into one using a old photo editor.  This was shot with a Sony Nex-6 with a telephoto lens.  The camera was handheld (no tripod) on a rolling boat.  Lots of line-of-sight smear in the image,

The naturalist on the cruise ship told us the spots on the tail of the whale is a unique fingerprint and is often used for tracking migration patterns,

Enjoy
