A picture from one of the best interaction I ever had with whales.
It was early in the morning in Mo'orea...
Mom was helping her calf breaching the surface to breath, while a male escorted them (I love to think it was the father, but it was certainly not the case!).
It's not often you'll see whales in such shallow waters, but they stayed in that spot for quite a long time, not minding me.
I took a few shots, but spent most of that time in awe, staying still, forgetting I was there to take pictures, just enjoying that family time.
