Once in a Lifetime by Michele du Plooy | @michele.d.p Magdalena Bay, Baja California Sur, Mexico
"This photo was taken in Magdalena Bay during the annual Mexican sardine run. I went on a freediving expedition to see sea lions and marlin feeding on bait balls — compact spheres of fish trying to protect themselves—and I was absolutely shocked when, on day three, this Bryde’s whale showed up out of nowhere and started feeding on the bait fish right in front of me. Truly the most unexpected, once-in-a-lifetime moment that I will forever cherish and never forget."
