EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ken Findlay from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are presented with a mesmerizing sight of a partially-submerged blue whale gracefully blowing through its blowhole. The sheer size and power of this magnificent creature is beautifully showcased as it effortlessly breaks the surface of the glistening ocean, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. The image transports us into the world of baleen whales, specifically belonging to the cetacea family and more precisely identified as a member of the balaenopteridae species. These gentle giants, known as mysticeti or rorquals, are celebrated for their enormous size and unique feeding mechanism using baleen plates instead of teeth. The focus on this particular blue whale, scientifically referred to as Balaenoptera musculus, allows us to appreciate its distinct characteristics that set it apart from other marine mammals. Its striking bluish-gray coloration blends harmoniously with the surrounding waters, while its streamlined body hints at incredible speed despite its colossal proportions. This photograph serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse wildlife and showcases nature's ability to create such extraordinary creatures. It invites us to marvel at these majestic animals that roam our oceans and highlights the importance of preserving their habitats for future generations. Through Ken Findlay's lens, we gain a glimpse into an enchanting underwater world where beauty meets strength in perfect harmony.
