Nice shot. We see dozens of whales up here every summer but 99 percent of the time all they do is roll along.

Wonderful.

Good catch.

Great timing for this image and hard to get! Were you fairly close to the breech?

Thanks. I'd estimate that we were 75-100 yards away.

Hi Norman - I used Center-Weighted Average metering (which is what I use most of the time). Thanks.

Thank you very much for your reply!! It is always good to find out what other photographers´ camera settings are used.

Gorgeous shot. I love the juxtaposition of metropolis and nature in background
