These bluelined snappers were considerate enough to maintain formation while I fiddled and fumbled with camera settings.

Female humpback whale with calf

Toluua, the 32nd calf I identified during the 2011 season in Vava'u, Tonga. This is the second time I have photographed this female with a calf. She is easily recognizable by her unique dorsal fin, which is more of a stump than a traditional fin shape, and has white rune-like markings on both sides. The first time I came across this adult was in 2009, when she was with Luna, calf #13 of that season, also a friendly little female. In both 2009 and 2011, the adult female was extremely relaxed, demonstrating a consistent disposition across the two-year interval.

This is a female humpback whale that was the center of attention in a heat run of five humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). Behind her is one of the males, easily recognizable by the step-like rear edge of its dorsal fin.
