Awesome! What a blessing to see and capture this..well done Melissa!

Great shot again, the light is better here as well as the framing. Are the eyes of the mother closed and isn’t she smiling – proud of her new born baby? Or is this just my imagination? :-)
James Peake
Wow what a beautiful experience Melissa, I bet you’re still on a high from it! Love the framing, light rays and deep blues in this image, not to mention the gorgeous mother and calf.
Jeffrey de Guzman
You’ve out done yourself with this one Melissa.
Melissa Fiene
Cheers guys. It was truly amazing, and very lucky to have a day like this. I spent about 20 minutes in the water with them.

Wow! Did you swim with them? Stunning image.
Norbert Probst
Wonderful capture. I had already the pleasure to dive with humpbacks in Dominican Republic. But the visibility was very pure.
Mark Elshout
Wow. Amazing. I got the chance earlier this year of swimming with Minky Whales and photographing them but my shots were a little disappointing in comparison to these incredible shots! Brilliant!

It was taken near us, how wonderful is that! This is a beautiful image, very beautiful. I love the deep blue ocean colours, and the streaming luminous light rays. And I am dazzled by the concave appearance of the image. It is lovely.

What a stunningly beautiful creature. I would not be able to see this if you didn’t photograph these creatures. Great skill, thank you : D

Awesome capture. I don’t think I would have had the composure to take a photo if I was this close to these wonderful mammals. Well done. I love it.
