Sharing a Special Touch

San Ignatio Lagoon, Mexico. These incredible gray whales come over to the boats to be touched and kissed. They are called "friendlies" because of their interactions with humans. With all of the excitement, it can get tricky sharing the space in the small boat. Thrilling!

Before remembering what the Theme was, my first thought was, "What a special moment they're sharing!" So, my friend, you captured a shared moment perfectly. Congratulations for the Finalist, and most assuredly, a Winner. #9473796
