UPY 2019 Portrait - Highly Commended
'Playful calf'
Greg lecoeur
Photographing marine wildlife means you need to know and understand animal behavior in order to act in the right way to be accepted and approached as closely as possible without causing a disturbance. During a trip to the Tonga Islands in the Pacific Ocean, we interacted with a female humpback whale and her calf that offered us a unique show. The curiosity of this big baby had no limit by investigating as closely as possible a strange species call "Human".
Judge's comment: There is a saying “The eye is the window to a soul” and a portrait must capture it. This perfect image delivers just that. Beautiful, contrasting colours and immaculate composition all lead to the eye.
