An Orca whale with a sailboat in the background. It was a very misty day on the ferry between Bellingham, WA and Victoria, Vancouver Island last August. I had no idea what gallery this should go in.

Love Your Work ! That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing !
I have a number of pictures of water where an Orca was just a second ago. Congrats on getting this one! And, of course, the sailboat mirrors the fin on the whale!

After 50 years of photography I shoot for memories not perfection
Hilda I envy you. This is a once in a life time shot and you did it very well. Great shot.

What a wonderful capture Hilda! The fin of the whale pointing straight up to the sky and the gushes of water around him/her are wonderfully captured. Great timing and shot!

I can't believe you had a sailboat in the background to perfectly mimic the orca's fin! Wonderful capture, Hilda. The softness of the horizon and the color is perfect. Love this as a DT!

Much of the beauty in life is found in people who care.
What a super capture Hilda! I agree with Alexis - the little sailboat is an added bonus - love it.

I'm going to reverse my comment from Uncle BB's. I bet it was thrilling to capture and great to see!
I have to agree with the comment "once in a lifetime" as well.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Wonderful capture Hilda! Must have been exciting to see that!

I love the simplicity of this and the palest blue color of the entire image. Seeing an Orca like this must have been thrilling!

Reminds me of a letter opener. lol Just kidding! I think it's great the way the fin mimics the sails or vice versa. Wonderful capture, Hilda!

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
~ Hilda, WOW, what an amazing capture! Great DT too!

A really great shot and it leaves so much to the imagination. I like photos that work as a trigger mechanism. This one fits that bill.
Excellent post Hilda.

So many pics and so little time can mean just one thing - it must be - tee time
Hilda, how special you must feel to have been right there with camera ready. This is an amazingly beautiful post. Congrats and kudos!

'Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.'
Great capture. The fin looks perfect. If you increase the contrast a bit, increase saturation a touch and use the sharpen feature, the pic looks much better. Throw in a bit of an S shaped tone curve and it helps with the dullness and really enriches the colour.
