3.22 - "Solid" 

[ … hello Humpback ] I took this photo of a Humpback whale in West of Greenland - Disco Bay. (at our Red Sails photo workshop) The whale suddenly appears very close to our sailboat, taken with my Nikon D850 and the Sigma 14mm 1.8 Art lens. I used very little image editing here (lens correction, tonal contrast, noise reduction and downscale for the web)

14mm! Wow, that's incredible! I struggle to get whale shots this close with 600mm. How cool! I love how clear the water is.

Hey Sam ... yes I was actually taken pictures of the perfect reflection of the icebergs in the water with my 14mm lens, then suddenly the whale appeared right in front of our sailboat ;-) Cheers from Iceland

excellent work

thank you Marius :-)
