EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this jaw-dropping print captured by M. Watson, a humpback whale steals the show as it breaches the water with incredible finesse. Leaping into the air, this majestic creature rotates mid-air before landing on its back or side, creating a spectacular chin-slap that is sure to make waves. Set against the stunning backdrop of Alaska's Inside Passage, where nature reigns supreme, this photograph showcases the raw beauty and power of marine life. The humpback whale, scientifically known as Megaptera novaeangliae, exhibits its playful behavior in full force. With every leap and twist caught on camera, we witness an extraordinary display of movement and grace. The splash created by this magnificent breach adds an element of excitement to an already breathtaking scene. As we marvel at this incredible moment frozen in time, let us not forget the importance of preserving our oceans and protecting these gentle giants. Humpback whales are just one example of the awe-inspiring creatures that call our planet home. So dive into adventure with this photo print! It serves as a reminder that nature never ceases to amaze us with its wonders – whether it be through leaping whales or picturesque landscapes like Alaska's Inside Passage.
