Antarctic. The same whale than the previous picture.
Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

I like the design the whale leaves on the water!And the graceful movement of the tail!

Superbe avec la queue et les gouttes d'eau. Les baleines à bosses viennent loin dans l'estuaire du Saint-Laurent, souvent on peux les observer du rivage. Les plus communs chez nous sont les rorquals communs, les petits rorquals, les belugas et ensuite les baleines à bosse. Un peu plus loin dans le golfe il y a un bon nombre de baleines bleues également.

MAGNIFICENT! Absolutely breathtaking capture. perfect timing with the tail extended out and the flow of water off of the tail. To me it is a shot of a lifetime. Often I have wished for the opportunity. You are very fortunate to witness this graceful giant. Great composition and DOF with beauty in the background.

Celle-ci est également bien réussie, lumière et compo et complète bien la précédente.

@Peter Miller: Taken with a Nikkor 50mm I was lucky to get very close.
