I couldnt have been at a better place at a better time when I took this photo. I was standing on the Near Island bridge in Kodiak, Alaska which isnt but about 100-150 feet above the water when i saw a pod of whales swimming underneath it. I had just a few seconds to take the shot before they were back underwater and i managed to get them right as they were breaching! It was such a magnificent sight. I hope you all enjoy.

Amazing shot...I think that the word 'serendipity' is called for here (something good unlooked for). Great timing, great capture and great eye.

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.
That is the shot of a lifetime. And you had the split second sense to compose it beautifully. Great colors, great bordering. incredible.

There always something unexpected happens to my life, sometimes I'm powerless to prevent it.

Treat the earth well, it was not given to you by your parents...
It was loaned to you by your children.
That is a real cool picture. You were right...you couldn't have been at a better place at a better time.

I know this one goes back a ways (to just a few months before I joined Caedes) and I could have sworn I had left a comment, but you're absolutely right about being in the right spot at the right time. Great photography is half-planning and half-chance. In 10 years I've seen many images of varying degrees of quality, either technical or subject, and the smallest group is the "phenomenal" group�just a moderate handful, really. Take it from a former ocean scuba diver, PADI-certified in Yokosuka, Japan... this one is most certainly in the "phenomenal" category.
