Great shot in any situation. The fact it was in SF Bay makes it really special.

What I'd like know is how she anticipated this shot so that she could get prepared to get the timing right.

I have seen many whales in the Bay over many years but never one breaching. This was just off Alcatraz with the Bay Bridge in the background. The photo was taken by my friend in a sailboat. The Cordell Bank just north of San Francisco has one of the four best upwelling-driven ecosystems in the world which means an abundance of food for the whales, dolphins and seals. She had a Nikon D5500 1/2000 f-8 iso 400 220mm . . . and was very alert to get this one.
Very, very cool! Thanks

How did your friend get the humpback to pose like that?
Great shot. I would not have wanted to be that close to the whale in a sailboat!
