  • Hi Suresh, Came back to visit this lovely album again. I'm still overawed by this stunning shot. I now have the facilities to enlarge and isolate part of a picture, and have seen this animal as close as you did, And can scarcely imagine how you felt at that moment, let alone had the presence of mind to click the shutter! This shot is staggering! Spectacular! You are a brave and talented man....Thanks for visiting my new album, pleased you enjoyed the scenery. Yes, I am keeping quite well, thankyou, and in good spirits. Hope you are likewise...Greetings and best wishes, Sheila.

  • Magic moments indeed. So many memories for you. Excelent shot. We have whales that come very close to shore here and they appear with the yong which is amazing. People line the beach and hills for miles to watch them play.
