Nice! I see these guys all the time seining off Kodiak, in Alaska. They are so friendly, and intelligent. They are our buds because they chase the seals and sea-lions away.

Awesome capture,love the splash and how the water changes the angel on the orca's head/rostrum and the ripples you can see on the orca.Love this shot. Excellent

Absolutely brilliant timing! I love the wave; it's like crystal in the front with tiny droplets of spray flying out behind.

Cool! I've never seen wild orcas, but I've been to Sea World numerous times. Not the same at all.
