Here is my 1st entry to the #bwphotocontest for the theme Animals hosted by 
Titled 'Piercing Black Eyes', this is one of my most memorable moment in the ocean, taken at Vava'u in the Kingdom of Tonga when I had a face to face encounter with the biggest animal I've ever seen in my life. It was the moment when I froze, overwhelmed by it's sheer power and size. It's piercing black eyes sending shivers down my spine, but somehow managing to press the shutter..
for running this awesome project and 
for sponsoring, as well as 
for judging this weeks Animals theme.
