Humpbackwhale in Antarctic. Coming vertically from below we can see part of the head. The clear part is the belly side. There are some shells on her skin.
Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

Very nice, she was giving you a show, they actually like that. Did she breech?

@Wolfgang Prigge: Thank you very much Wolfang. (breech?) She didn't jump out of the water if it was your question.

Just amazing... How fast did this come up? Was there any danger to you or the whale?
