Nphoto PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 2021

1. Humpback Breach

BY DWAYNE TOWLES

This photograph of a breaching humpback in the Bahía de Banderas is the image everybody wants to come home with when they go whale watching. The timing is impeccable as the humpback was captured at the very peak of its breach and the image is tack-sharp too. A second breaching humpback is visible on the left-hand side, which provides both additional interest and depth.

Lens: 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6

Exposure: 1/1600 sec, f/9, ISO400
