Photographer: Shane Gross

Location: Somewhere off the East Coast

Not my favorite shot, simply because it's somewhat boring to me. Black and white can add drama to the right shot, sure, but I think I would rather see this shot in color with the whale being its true gray color surrounded by its blue environment. However, I do enjoy the texture of the whale that's brought out by the blacks, whites and grays. It's as if it defines the texture more so than a color shot would.
