22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
An Ocean Beast
This is a photo of a humpback whale in Monterey. The whale came up to our boat within two feet and did something called "mugging" where a whale will go from boat to boat and play with the people by spraying them and flipping their tail fins. This particular whale put its head out and that was when I took the photo.
