The Great Mother [TOP100]

This photo was taken in Okinawa, Japan. From January to March, humpback whales appear near Okinawa. A mother whale is often accompanied by her calf. A whale mother and calf swam past me and away. I could see a male whale escorting them from below. This mother whale hardly responded to the male's escort and swam as if she was protecting her calf. This mother whale was swimming with her fins spread tightly, as if she was protecting her young. I felt dignified by this mother whale. Mothers are strong regardless of their species.

Up and Down

Roca Partida is a little rock out in the middle of nowhere. Part of the Revillagigedo Islands, it lies about 70 miles west of Socorro and 85 miles from San Benedicto Island. The tiny pinnacle jets up from hundreds of feet of water. Topside the two points make a comfortable home to the booby birds and gulls who have made their way here. Underwater it is a magnet to giant manta rays, whale sharks, schools of hammerheads, dolphins, white tips, Galapagos sharks, humpback whales, large schools of jacks and tuna.

Un instante perfecto

Esta foto de un tiburón ballena fue tomada en la Reserva d ela Biosfera Caribe Mexicano. Durante el verano cientos de estos animales llegan a la zona para alimentarse. Por lo general lo hacen nadando de manera horizontal con la boca abierta, filtrando el plancton, su alimento. Pero en ciertas ocasiones, cuando se sienten muy cómodos, se ponen de manera vertical para comer, los locales llamamos esto "posición de botella". Llevo muchos años fotografiando a estos gentiles gigantes y sin duda este fue un instante perfecto.

Hon Yen seagrass meadow

Half above & half below view of seagrass meadow along the coastline of Hon Yen during sunset. Seagrass meadows play an important role in keeping our oceans healthy and providing home for all kinds of marine life. Seagrass absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the surrounding seawater, help to reduce the speed of climate change, protect our coastlines from storms, they also soak up nutrients & bacteria, helping to keep our seawater clean.

Olive Ridley Turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) is a Vulnerable (IUCN Red List) species suffering from continuing decline of mature individuals and a severely fragmented population. Extensive fishing and development of new ports on the Odisha coast of India has caused significant stress and disruption to the turtles near one of their largest nesting sites in the world. As I didn\'t have underwater camera housing, I wanted to photograph Olive Ridley Turtles with a GoPro camera mounted on an extended monopod from a small fishing boat. It was a huge challenge on a windy day with swelling waves causing turbulent movements of the boat and the turtles also bobbing up and down with the waves. After many failed attempts, I could capture this image and the splash made it my chosen frame.
