Ingrid Kuster, Breaching humpback (ANIMAL & NATURE 2026)

On a whale watching tour off the coast of Port Macquarie NSW and was lucky to have the camera pointing in the right direction when this humpback whale propelled itself out of the water and breached a short distance from our boat. Just as magnificent sight.
