This is a spectacular image George! What great warm light on the Orca and your timing was right on. The background puts this one over the top.

I think this is my favorite of your images that I've seen! Spectacular light, excellent composition, and that BG gives a wonderful sense of place. Very very nice!

This is a gorgeous shot, wonderful light, timing is perfect and I like the inclusion of the mountains etc. I hate to even mention this, but my eye keeps looking at the boats.. It just makes me wonder how it would be if they were cloned out..Just a super picture either way. Thanks for posting it here at NSN...

The boats are ever-so-slightly distracting. I wouldn't clone them out, but perhaps selectively desaturate them so the super light is only on the whale.

Great image - the light and mountain BG bring this into the stratosphere.

This is my favorite image of yours that I have seen - the light here is great as is the whale and the distant mountains. the light in this one is excellent.

Fantastic light and the sense of emptiness conveyed by the distant mountains make this shot for me. Its a slight shame about the other boats, but not a lot can be done about that.

So, any tips for getting great Orca shots.......? :wink: :wink:

I think a trip to Tysfjord is looking more and more likely for 2004
