This was one of my favourite images from the start, I think the photographer has captured this young humpback perfectly, the image is beautifully sharp and I really like the composition where the whale nearly fills the frame, to sum it up in one word would be "perfect".

To me this image is very pleasing on the eye its as though the hummingbirds are dancing between the flowers in a rain shower and to capture both of them as sharp as they are must have been difficult enough but the photographer has managed to do just that, and for me the composition works very well.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** A creature at full stretch is a sight to behold, and a challenge to photograph – but when your hard work pays off and you capture an image that reveals something about the power and speed of an animal, there are few things more satisfying. There is potential to shoot images for this competition almost anywhere. Birds scrapping over a feeding table in the back garden can produce a shot every bit as compelling and engaging as a cheetah hunting on a safari. You’ll want to ensure your images represent movement, be that ultra-precise focusing combined with shutter speeds of 1/1000sec or more to be certain everything is pin sharp, or playing with narrower apertures and slower shutter speeds to give a sense of movement and creative blur.
