That’s exactly what happened to photographer Douglas Croft while whale watching in Monterey Bay, California.
Croft managed to capture breathtaking images of the whale leaping out of the water, dwarfing a nearby fishing boat in comparison.
Using a porthole close to the waterline for the perfect angle, Douglas snapped awe-inspiring photos that quickly went viral.
The whale’s immense size made the fishing boat appear tiny, an unforgettable sight for anyone who loves nature’s wonders.
Kate Cummings, a fellow whale watcher, even recorded a video of the stunning breach, adding to the magic of the moment.
Humpback whales, weighing up to 30 tons and measuring up to 52 feet, are known for their dramatic breaches.
This footage, now widely shared, showcases one of nature’s most incredible spectacles, leaving audiences worldwide in awe.
