+1 that picture really gives perspective on how close it is.  Wow!

Way to get the pictures!  Such encounters have happened to me so many times over the years and i'm always fumbling to get the camera going.  It always puts life in perspective for me when i see an animal twice or three times (or more) as long as my kayak and an eyeball full of intellegence the size of a dinner plate.  They could so easily crush us while we are out there floating around on a large bobber in a sea of monster soup.  Strange that such encounters make me feel both insignificant in the bigger picture, and fully alive and present at the same time. 

Thanks for sharing the pics!!
