Humpback tail on Conception Bay, Newfoundland. Cropped to 4225x2817. Full res jpg link is being used here and can be clicked on depending on browser.

Contrast is hard to manage here and I am still working on it, but sky and water were gray and whale is B&W...

I love that you captured that sheet of water falling off the tail.

A truly exciting photograph. I agree your conditions were not quite ideal, which proves your efforts to be extraordinary.
