Breaching Humpback Whale in Icy Strait, Alaska

My fiancé and I took a boat tour in Icy Strait, Alaska, surrounded by stunning wildlife at every turn. I had my camera in hand, snapping photos nonstop in awe. I captured this shot without even realizing it until we returned to shore and I looked through all of the photos. It was such a special moment.
