This image was taken about an hour away from Juneau Alaska back in June of 2011. Having gone whale watching many times, it's difficult to capture a breach because either the whale doesn't feel like doing it, the boat is facing the wrong direction, or your camera isn't ready. To get a shot like this it all has to come together to make it happen. I captured the entire jump sequence of this beautiful animal and I am so happy that I had this opportunity!
