EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of a Humpback whale in Hawaii's waters. The endangered Megaptera novaeangliae is showcased with two circular bite marks, possibly caused by a cookie cutter shark, Isistius brasiliensis. As the sunlight dances on the surface of the Pacific Ocean, one can observe the intricate details of this magnificent mammal. The image showcases the distinct tubercles on top of its head, which are adorned with visible hairs. These bump-like knobs not only add to its unique appearance but also serve an important purpose in enhancing hydrodynamics while swimming through the ocean depths. With its pectoral fins gracefully breaking through the water's surface and its eye gazing into unknown horizons, this humpback whale epitomizes both power and grace. The vibrant blue hues of the surrounding water create a stunning backdrop for this incredible creature. As it swims amidst gentle ripples and blurred tropical scenery, we are reminded of nature's wonders and our responsibility to protect these precious marine ecosystems. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in today's modern world, there is still untamed beauty waiting to be discovered beneath the waves. David Fleetham has masterfully captured not just an animal but also a story within this single frame – a testament to his skill as a wildlife photographer. This print invites us to appreciate both the grandeur and vulnerability of these gentle giants that call Hawaii their home.
