Opinions, Alone Together

I have looked at many of your whale images and have been quite impressed...it is obviously your passion. This image of humpbacks is a bit obscure...the dorsal fins are not prominantly protruding above the surface of the water. If I would not have read what they were, I would not have figured it out. When I do see images of whales submerging and their fins above the surface of the water...my initial thought is that it is nature caught in it's glory. The physical size of whales are seldom portrayed in photographs because the total whale is not seen...only small portion of the posterior aspect. They are truly beautiful creatures that live beneath the surface of the water...in their own world.

 

I have to agree with Frank. The picture is too obscure to really get a feel for what the subject is.

Tranquility, peace, harmony ..... as well as the oft quoted:

"Thar be WHALES!" best done with that Scottish accent we all loved so much :wink:

OK, I'm the dink, the geek, immediately recognized what these are. I'm off, in October sometime, to actively seek the Humpbacks that come in to Puget Sound in the fall. Should be a grand time.

Oh, I should add "Timeless" to my initial response to the image as well.

I like it......

 

ps. to my first reply

I would, I think, have the same emotional response even if I didn't know what these were. I'll show this "out-of-context" to some other friends later today, non-photogs, and see what they have to say as well.

 

Hi Warren,

I doesn't take much imagination to understand your passion for whales when one spends a few minutes looking at your Pbase gallery...WOW. It is obvious that you are dedicated to their preservation.

 

Hi Bay,

I agree with you , bill and Jacki.

I have an image that NO ONE knows what it is. I have a great passion for dolphins and whales.

All you see is a ripple and a small circle of water where a dolphin has gone down and what the affect was after...:>)))))))) I will try to find it and post it for you.

thanks for the thoughts and image.,

 

For Baywing

No one I know, but me appreciates this or knows what I see in it regardless of explanation :>)))

Taken very early in the morning when I arrived at my work place by the river.

 

Bay,

I know I saw the Dolphin in the peaceful early morning. They are very quiet and gentle lopping in the water, as you can see by the ripples.

Yes very calming to me and brings a smile to me.. Especially an early morning view, a smile before work is welcome.

Thanks for sharing and commenting here
