Tail Slapping 2 - Maui, Hawaii
During my last trip to Maui, I took quite a few whale shots. I took this photo while observing the antics of a competition pod of males all competing for the the attention of a nearby female whale. As one might expect, the males try to show how macho they are through demonstrations of physical strength and agility. This involves leaping into the air, colliding with other males, and fin and tail slapping. The photo was taken in February 2014. Enjoy.
