This was my best encounter with a whale and his calf. I had chance to have in front of me 2 dolphins with the whales! Special and unique moment to me, will remember it for long.

Image was taken in Baa Atoll, Maldives at around 20m on a cloudy day.

We all hate backscatter, but sometimes it adds mystery to a picture. The tiger shark in the background seems to be trying to hide behind the backscatter to ambush the bluefin trevally. Without the backscatter it would look less menacing. - Erik

Ingredients: a soup of plankton, different torches. Recipe: one strong torch at the back of the ship shining down. Put the normal torches in the sand shining up... and wait for the UFO's to appear. No strobe or torch used on the camera, 16mm. - Erik
