Hi Susan, thanks for the comment. Not at all, at that split second it is exhilarating more than anything and you are completely in awe of the power it possesses.

Wow!! that's a very fine catch you have got here. Its a real Shark....awesome razor sharp looking teeth and incredible Jaws. Fantastic colours and amazing emerge from the sea water. Stunning capture. Congrats on the feature.

Thanks David. It's worth the trip. If you do make sure it's at the shark capital of the world, Gansbaai, South Africa!

I worked for a company that took out clients on shark diving trips so was able to go on quite a few photo trips while I was there, I was awful for capturing the moment though. I waited and waited and always gave up just before the shark jumped, this shot was pure luck :D

The excitement for me was to finally get the "jaws" shot. I've done quite a few trips to see them and always give up waiting just before or have used up my frames per second way too soon. Finally! :D

Hi Susi, thanks so much! This shark was really close to the boat, it was taken from a cage diving boat and the shark was really close to the cage at the time.

Haha yep! Up close (from a boat) they are not scary at all though. Thanks so much for the comment :D
