Fine Art nominee

A baby humpback whale pauses at the surface in a graceful upside-down ballet in the South Pacific. A dream-like scene, which for me, was truly a dream come true, as I had the incredible opportunity to interact with this extraordinary young whale this past October in French Polynesia. Monochromatic tones help draw the viewer to her playful and curious eye – a moment of connection I will never forget. As I observed her ethereal underwater performance, it illuminated the harmonious convergence of dreams and reality, and I hope the image inspires a greater fascination for the wonders of our ocean and the dream to experience and protect it.
