Artist's Comments

I was going to just call this "Gasper 3", but soon realized that this wasn't just a nature or wildlife shot... this was a freaking portrait. So, I give you a my portrait of Gasper, the Beluga Whale.

Last beluga shot from my Georgia Aquarium photos. Jellyfish come next.

Definitely full-view this one. He's giving me a really interesting look.

Enjoy! :)

Edit: After a long battle with a chronic infection, Gasper was humanely put to sleep after his year of treatment at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. It was clearly visible that he enjoyed his time there, and I feel fortunate that I was able to visit and photograph him while the chance was there. He will be missed greatly.

Edit 2: It looks like this is becoming a popular piece, so I'll enable a print when I get back home!
