Description
The loudest animal in the world needs your voice.
The largest animal on this planet is endangered.
The Blue Whale is estimated to have numbers of between 10,000-25,000 left on the planet.
Before whaling began? There were ~239,000. Just in Antarctic waters.
Good news, though! Their populations in certain areas are recovering.

This is #3 of the 30 Day Cetacean Challenge
This image was painted from one of my favourite blue whale photographs: orig00.deviantart.net/05f4/f/2β¦
Part of this 30 Day Challenge is to learn new techniques. I think that by trying to recreate a photograph, you can practise realism techniques. Give it a go sometime, this was fun! <3

Interesting perspective....you did a fantastic job capturing the whales size. I love how the water acts on its body, like, half hidden, parts outside of the water. The rainbow is a lovely detail. And your birds just look amazing. ^^

The original photo is so beautiful. I couldnβt not try to replicate it and add a few extra details of my own. 
I donβt think anyone can really have any concept of how huge a whale is until youβve seen one. I really hope I can see one someday.
Thank you dear!
