Lemon Shark
One from a recent dive about an hours boat ride from Palm Beach. Great experience with about 15 of these all around us, bumping into us, they really are not aggressive in the slightest. This was from a baited dive, but even so, no interest in harming humans at all.

Nice image design here, Mike! A very neat frame and the colours are superb, great POV. Love those mean looking teeth too, gills stand out so nicely.
A lovely Theme image IMO - you might have forgotten that May is "Predators" month?
Enjoyed viewing, very much, thank you for sharing
Kind regards,

Agree with Haseeb and Gabriela -- really nice frame. I also like the composition and the matching eyes works well for me. I like the waves breaking on top / sun coming through them to add a sense of depth as well. The gradient from light to dark blue is great IMO. Frames like this make me want to try underwater photography, but I think I'd be too scared. TFS

Thanks Gabriela - this was meant to be a 'theme' image - not sure what went wrong
Any chance it can be changed please?
thanks

Wow Mike, this really pops! There's a nice 3D look to it and I too like deep blues. I'm not sure which scares me more, this or Gabriela's snake images. Great stuff.
TFS,

Cracking good image Mike, love the swing away pose, open jaw and and eye contact on not just the shark, but also the remora, nice blue colour grad from top to bottom.
One of your best IMO.

Hi Mike another very fine shark image , i think .
Love the typical shark pose when checking out the diver , you caught him well while doing it.
Lovely clean image and i like the additional fish ( do not know the english name) who are always around the sharks.
Keep them coming.
