Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Halfhearted” by Douglas Croft. Location: Monterey Bay, California.
“A halfhearted breach by a humpback whale in Monterey Bay,” describes Croft. “It could be expected since he had already done roughly 20 breaches before this one and they take a lot of energy. We watched this one for an hour as he repeatedly did full breaches, chin slaps, half breaches and then more full breaches. It was an amazing show. I loved the perspective and detail in this shot.”
