It is that time again where we have picked a new photo to be crowned "Photo of the Month" for May.
With the end of the Whaling season approaching us, the winning shot captures a humpback whale in jumping out of the water and waving at the lucky photographer, hampstead_99. The shot was taken aboard the Teralani catamaran sunset cruise, which is excellent for providing up close encounters with our friendly whales.

Congratulations to the winner and thanks for your submissions! If you would like to take a look at past winners, go to our "photo of the month" page.

Wow, that is an amazing shot for sure. And on a sunset cruise of all things, not even a whale watch tour!
Great job!
