UPY Behaviour - Third
'Milk feeding'
Mike Korostelev
On this day a family of 13 Sperm Whales allowed me to stay with them the whole day. It is a big honour for this human to be with whales in their habitat in the ocean. These whales probably remember whaling years ago but they forgive us. At the end of the day one mother starts to feed her calf just meters from me. I froze and didn't move. It was incredible to see such a private moment.
Judge's comment: An image can take you there visually but it’s difficult to convey the emotions which the underwater photographer must have felt. All I can say is that I wished I could have been there to experience it too :-)
