Captures a humpback whale in a rare vertical position as it gently descends through the blue depths.
The massive marine mammal appears almost weightless, its long pectoral fins extended outward like wings while its distinctive textured body creates a powerful silhouette against the surrounding ocean.
Humpback whales occasionally assume this vertical posture during their deep dives or in moments of rest, offering photographers a fleeting chance to witness one of the ocean's largest creatures in a surprisingly graceful pose that challenges our perception of these gentle giants.
