Tiger Shark in the Wild

[Michael Gerald-Yamasaki]

Greetings. The only tiger shark I've ever seen in the wild, at Elkorn Slough (in the center of the Monterey Bay coast in California). Curves (and curves), glowing edges, and more curves to bring out the shark from the reflection off the water and some added color contrast (orange-blue, violet-green). (the enhanced detail in the water trailing the shark suffers from the low-res jpeg).

Thanks for looking/commenting.

Cheers,

Michael, Congrats on the capture. I do wish it were a bit more visible. I like were you placed it in the frame. I might lighten it a bit.:)

The water is really neat, is there some way to bring out more definition in the shark?

Denise, Jackie,

Greetings. How about this:



Added Gaussian blur to all but shark and trailing water. added some edge, color, a few more curves (oh, and slightly tighter crop)... the shark is barely visible underwater in the original ;)

Cheers,

Michael, I think it shows up a bit more. Nice job.
