Humpback Tail
As luck would have it, the first time the humpback whale tail broke through the surface, I was able to capture it almost fully out of the water, but the second time I captured it fully out of the water, but another boat had gotten into the frame. No classic shot for me, but a great experience anyway.

Thar She Blows!

Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite fast enough to get the whale who was just offshore at Rodea Point when he was blowing out of the blowhole, just as the spray was landing.
