Whale Tails

Hi,

Last year in August I spent one day on the water in the Bay of Fundy with a group of marine mammal students. We were with Northern Right whales and naturally I took my camera to get some shots. Here are two that turned out OK. They were very difficult to shoot because one does not know when or where the whales would emerge, they were up for a very short time and the sun was very bright on the water but the whales were very dark. Tell me what you think. My favourite is the first because of the lovely curvature of the tail.
