It's whale swimming season in Tonga... I'm in the middle of my second group, with another 2 to go. Just thought I'd share this calf portrait from Saturday.

I totally agree this would look stunning on the wall. Great job Darren, love the Calf's body textures and tones. The blue cast monotone has worked a treat on this image.

Cheers,
Jim.
