Description

An obscure morning underwater, revealing some of nature's secrets as the sun rise. I was on a three days trip to Mo'orea when I shot this. One of my dearest underwater moment for sure... A playful moment between a mother and her calf. Witnessing the interactions between those two was an incredible experience, full of tenderness. Always talking to each other, maintaining physical contact... Somehow they didn't mind the intruder that I was and stayed around for almost an hour. Young mothers tend to be very protective, so I am grateful she didn't identify me as a threat. The fact that she stayed and didn't put herself as a barrier between me and her calf shows how trusting she was. Putting words upon that feeling seems almost impossible. A very humbling and moving experience. Can you imagine... being accepted in that family?
