Humpback Chin Slap
Uploaded: January 08, 2018 | Entered: January 08, 2018 10:55:48
Humpback whales will sometimes surface just high enough to slap the underside of their heads against the surface of the water. This behavior is called a chin slap and it's thought they do so to dislodge barnacles and other growths from their skin or for communication with other whales. Frederick Sound, AK

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
