Breathe-
This is the Transient (mammal eating) Orca known as Louise. She is the matriarch of her family group which had just successfully hunted a sea lion in the clear outer waters of Monterey Bay. While the rest of her family celebrated the kill, Louise came over to check out our boat. This was taken as she rose to breathe but had not yet broken the surface tension of the bay waters.
Taken with Nikon D500, Tamron 18-400
