Hammerhead shark taken in the shark "tunnel" at the Adventure Aquarium in NJ. Not really too risky, unless the glass were to break. But you can "swim with the sharks" there. I think you'd have to pay me instead of the other way around for that to happen.

Awww, but he's so CUTE! Well, I think so. And as long as he's behind glass he's cute... Excellent composition and light, and perfect for the challenge. Nicely done!

Excellent, Kelli. This is quite scary with that big mouth. I like the lines of this image -- the diagonal of the shark and the curve of the tail leading the eye up to the dorsal fin and back around to the head. Congratulations on the new top row entry.

It looks like a lot of noise reduction was used as it looks fairly smooth to me or perhaps it was caused by taking a photo thru glass. Unless you're actually swimming with the sharks then your just crazy!

If the color and sharpness of this image was dead on I think this would have been an amazing photo.
