Hello Asad

In Florida our Great Whites look the same, but they let you get close to them. Very interesting background, and good sharpness from a boat shot.

Nice vertical portrait, Asad, which shows how the black legs blend into the BG forest of little vertical sticks. Looks like the head could be sharpened a bit. Also you might clone out some of the grayish spots near the top of the frame.

nice tall portrait and good display of habitat, would be tempted to recover more tones in the whites, BTW afternoon soft light works a lot better with egrets.

Good you to get so close.
The area certainly looks tidal.
Nice clean shot and I like the pose.
