For me, this photo really shows a mother’s love and communicates the beauty and fragility of life in our ocean.”<br><br>The image triumphed over 6,750 entries in this year’s competition.<br><br>“This delicate yet powerful study of a mother and calf’s bond says all that is great and good about our world,” said contest judge Peter Rowlands in the statement.<br><br>“We face our challenges, but the increasing populations of humpback whales worldwide shows what can be achieved,” he added.<br>
