when i went whale watching in puerto madryn there were two shots that i really wanted to get. the first was of a whale jumping in and out of the water, and the second was a clean shot of a whale tail descending into the water. i didn't get either. this was the closest i managed of the latter - and i considered doing some creative cloning to fake it - but decided that it would be better to leave it like this. despite failing at my mission it was still a magical experience seeing the massive creatures up close. a mother and daughter stuck close to the boat, and swam up and under as we all watched in awe. despite being on a packed boat full of eager, snapping tourists you couldn't help but feel special to experience it.

here's the original
