The Vertical Twist

Sea, space everywhere in world in world...

I am wondering how you got this shot. It looks as though he has been stab,poked and whatever else someone would do to take down this amazing creature. Or did you happen to be diving with coming upon this feeding frenzy. I hope the later.It is an incredible shot..but I am always in awe of why you would take a photo with a dead animal rather then enjoying the beauty of it alive and let nature take care of it's own.Just my opinion because I find this image very unsetteling.

Its obviously a very good shot, subject technique composition rules etc

 

But, just remember that this was shot with a rangefinder camera, underwater on ISO 100 film in about 5m visibility.

 

Now thats what makes this shot amazing... amazing!

 

Johannes you must have been seriously happy when you got your negs back! well done boet.

Reminds me why I never had any desire to get into this area of photography. Great shot but not worth MY life. Congrats on surviving!

 

 

What a beautiful picture.

Wow! Great shot!

Yikes! I just wet my pants just looking at it! Very real looking photo.

 

 

amazing photo, but my animal rights side needs to ask why the poor thing is so bloody? 7/7 (if the shark survived).

It probably just ate something.

How long did you take to remove the camera from his mouth? You obviously got your camera eaten by this beautiful and still not respected White Shark!!

Fantastic moment and original composition!! Excellent shot!! Congratulations!!!

I am guessing from the sharpness of the entire critter, that it was not a long lens that you were using. So, you were really REALLY close. AWESOME capture. I am glad that you survived to share this image with the rest of us.

I'm sorry but i fail to see the beauty in a picture of a wounded creature...
