Description
This image was conceived after watching a wildlife documentary on Killer Whales...
Apparently Mother Orcas teach their calfs how to beach themselves and Quickly grab a Seal pup which is naturally curious about the sea...Mother and Calf then return to the sea.
The mother's don't kill the Seal pup but instead plays football with it, tossing around the sea and kicking it 15ft into the air with their tails.
This goes on for about 30 minutes, the Seal pup usually dies before this is over and then the pup is discarded and not eaten at all.
This sport usually lasts for about two weeks of each year and nobody knows why they do it?
All figures rendered in poser 4, background created in Bryce 4, all Postwork done in Photoshop 6.

Coming from the Pacific Northwest, the Orca has always been a favorite of mine. I believe you have done them justice.
