EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by David Fleetham showcases the majestic tail of a humpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae, off the coast of Molokai, Hawaii. The humpback whale is an endangered species known for its immense size and graceful movements in water. In this image, we witness the sheer power and beauty of these magnificent creatures. The vibrant blue hues of the open ocean provide a stunning backdrop as the adult humpback raises its tail fluke above the surface. Its pectoral fins are spread wide, creating a horizontal position that emphasizes its massive presence. A mother humpback can be seen nearby with her calf swimming alongside her. David Fleetham's skillful photography captures this breathtaking moment as if frozen in time. The attention to detail allows us to admire every aspect of this incredible creature – from its expressive eye to its baleen-filled mouth. The image also hints at another remarkable behavior exhibited by humpbacks: breaching or leaping out of the water. Although not depicted here, it serves as a reminder of their playful nature and acrobatic abilities. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to protect these gentle giants and their fragile marine habitat. It invites us to appreciate their existence while raising awareness about conservation efforts needed to ensure their survival for future generations.
