Radiant Bond by Alvaro Herrero, Spain
Herrero captured the special relationship between a mother humpback whale and her newborn calf in French Polynesia. ‘For me, this photo really shows a mother’s love and communicates the beauty and fragility of life in our ocean. The mother is accompanying her calf to the surface, because the baby is still so small and clumsy. The calf is releasing a few bubbles showing it is still learning to hold its breath properly.’
