A study in gray

I love the powerful line of this massive white shark. I think it works well in BW since it emphasizes his form. It also has a strong diagonal line which highlights the motion.

    OMG, u dove Guadalupe !

    Yes I dove Guadalupe, but only inside a cage and on a hookah rig. I don’t think PADI would call it a “dive”. Whatever you call it, it was an great experience.

    I agree. It does look good in b&w. He almost looks like he is smiling for the photo.

    Great shot of a great animal! Humbling and inspiring at the same time. More of us need to get close to fantastic beasts (meant in a good way) like this to make us come to our senses. We as humans are such fragile, soft, and helpless animals without our technology. Humans are not the center of the universe.

    amazing shot

    wow, the shark almost looks like its smiling :-) great capture!

    This is perfect in its simplicity. I especially like the tonal gradient diagonal across the frame. It really adds impact as well as putting the shark in the lower left quadrant. Well done!
