What I love about this photo is that it combines two Alaska classics…thetail of a humpback whale backgrounded by the rugged snowcapped mountains ofSoutheast Alaska. Being able to see the water droplets falling from thetail is an added plus. This photo can be found on page 80 in my whale bookcalled Alaska’s Watchable Whales. Camera: Nikon F5, Lens: 300mm f/4 Nikkor,Film: 35mm Fuji Velvia.-Mark Kelley

“As a kid in Buffalo, New York, I always wondered what it would be like to encounter a whale,” says Mark Kelley. Learn more about Mark…
