EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael S. Nolan captures a mesmerizing moment in the animal kingdom. In the crystal-clear waters of Esterus, San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico, three adult male humpback whales are locked in an intense competition for the attention of a female companion. The sheer power and grace displayed by these magnificent creatures is awe-inspiring. The image showcases the immense size and strength of these adult male humpback whales as they vie for dominance. Their sleek bodies glide effortlessly through the water, their flukes elegantly breaking the surface with each powerful stroke. With tails raised high in a display of dominance known as "fluking" it is evident that this battle for mating rights is reaching its peak. Set against a backdrop of endless blue ocean and bathed in warm sunlight, this photograph transports us to a world where nature reigns supreme. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and fragility of our planet's marine ecosystems. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we cannot help but be humbled by the grandeur of these marine mammals and their instinctual drive to continue their lineage. This image invites us to appreciate not only their physical prowess but also our responsibility to protect and preserve these incredible creatures for future generations to marvel at.
