If my interpretation of this image is correct, it shows a humpback whale rising vertically from the water in a head-on view, revealing the barnacle-covered contours of its head and the white grooves of its throat pleats. What makes the photograph unusual is that it captures the whale at the very beginning of its upward surge—a fleeting moment of anticipation before the feeding event reaches its peak.
