What I love about this photo is dark ominous tone of these sleathly huntersrising from the deep. Killer whales are refered to as the wolf packs ofthe sea and are the ocean’s apex pedators…feeding the highest on the foodchain. They got their name by whalers who watched them kill much largerwhales and named them “killer of whales” which got shortened to killerwhales. This photo can be found on page 59 in my whale book called Alaska’sWatchable Whales. Camera: Nikon F5, Lens: 35-70mm f/2.8 Nikkor, Film: 35mmFuji 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…
