Very nice. Is the bird in #1 (lower right)eating off the back of one of the whales?

Guess the humpbacks will have to be added to my list...bears, eagles and whales! It's a joy to see nature up close and personal!

WOW I've never gotten that close with the telephoto. These are the best photos I've ever seen of the humpbacks ... the first one took my breath away.

No,gulls or any other birds never land on or eat off whales.The gulls are trying to catch small fishes falling out of whales` mouths.The still photography does not capture the violent action well, it lasts only a few seconds but it is total chaos.Thanks,Ivan.

Some shots I could not get even with 24mm w.a.,it was a helpless feeling. Thanks,Ivan.
