EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment when a massive humpback whale breaches out of the Atlantic Ocean. The sheer size and power of these magnificent creatures, which can reach lengths exceeding 50 feet, is truly mesmerizing. As this humpback propels itself out of the water, its sleek silver body glistens under the Caribbean sun. The reason behind why these colossal whales breach remains a mystery to scientists. Some speculate that it could be a form of communication or play behavior, while others believe it may serve as a way to dislodge parasites from their skin. Regardless of the motive, witnessing such an extraordinary spectacle in nature leaves us in wonder and amazement. This particular photograph was taken off the coast of the Dominican Republic's Silver Bank, where humpbacks migrate each year to mate and give birth. Against the backdrop of crystal-clear turquoise waters, we see every detail - from its prominent dorsal fin and fluke to its powerful tail propelling it towards gravity-defying heights. Ethan Daniels skillfully captures this breathtaking moment in time with his lens, showcasing not only the beauty but also highlighting important aspects for marine biology and zoology enthusiasts alike. This image serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity and reminds us to cherish and protect these majestic creatures that call our oceans home.
