Honored to have had this photo nominated for this years oceanographic photo contest! Specifically in the Human Connection Award! This was my third year entering the competition and my first time ever making it as a finalist! Very cool to look back and see improvement in skill and editing throughout the years. Thrilled to have been among so many other amazing photographers, and even a few close friends! This was a day with the whales I’ll never forget! Some very special moments with this baby whale and with friends 🐳 #whaleswim #oceanographic #freediving #divetosurvive #humpbacks
