The "action" in a competition pod gets a little rough, kicking up a lot of spray! (Kaho'olawe Island seen on the horizon) -- 12 January 2013
The spray from a large Humpback's blow hangs in the air, settling slowly. Ma'alaea Bay, Maui, 5 February 2012.
The blowhole and tubercles (visible as black bumps or knobs) are clearly visible on the rostrum of a large female, the object of a very rowdy competition pod. 5 February 2012, Ma'alaea Bay, Maui.

The whale's flukes break the surface (bottom-right quadrant of the image).
