A photo a day, keeps the doctor away #8- Young Southern Right Whale

Young Southern Right Whale

My entry for the animal photography challenge @photocontests

It was a rather stressful encounter. One of the other cage diving boats gave us a signal, that there was a young Southern Right Whale in distress.... It turned out that he just had a fun time, tolling around at the surface.

        What a worry approaching thinking this beautiful animal was in distress, to find out it was frolicking in the sea a much better ending to witness @mjphoto

            Love this. Were you in the water at the time? And was the whale alone?

                          Great capture!
                          Look at all that Baleen! Very cool detail captured.
                          I have seen a few Right Whales, but they are so endangered, ahven't been able to get close enough.

                          Most of the whales I see are Humpback, Fin Back, and Right Whales.
