“This image is an extremely rare aerial view of a blue whale pair surfacing
to feed on krill. The scene displays the enormous magnitude of the
animals’ jaws and the vast quantity of water displaced during the capture.”

“I consider this one of the most spectacular symbiotic relationships in the ocean, and I have been trying to capture it for years.
As often happens in underwater photography, I was presented an opportunity during a dive in which I had a lens that was not
really suitable for a subject that size. I shot quickly as the shrimp came toward my lens, intrigued, just before darting away.”
