I took this photo of a whale mother and her calf at the ocean's surface. The mother, a majestic presence in the water, floats tranquilly as she takes a breath of air. Beside her, the playful calf is a picture of youthful exuberance, swimming energetically around her. Remarkably, the calf has its pectoral fins extended outward, resembling the wings of an airplane, adding a sense of whimsy and freedom to the scene. This playful gesture contrasts with the calm demeanor of the mother, highlighting the calf's exploratory nature. The image beautifully encapsulates a moment of maternal care and youthful curiosity in the vast, serene ocean.
