As it is a simple picture.
Real shark heads in Ensenada, Mexico. Their eyes had been replaced with plastic googley eyes and the heads were for sale in a small tourist shop.
Day 4 of the trip was also in Corpus Christi, Texas. We visited the Texas State Aquarium, where I found this shark roaming around an exhibit showing the ecosystem around an offshore oil platform. This is a little darker than I would prefer, but it does bring out the evilness of a predator. For 2016: one photo each day (147/366).
One shark the right way up and the other upside down ... sorry!
Better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
As I went through this set of photos from the trip I took to Davenport, CA last week, I was amazed by how quickly the light changes around sunset. This shot was taken only 14 minutes before the shot I've linked in comments. I have a bunch of good shots on that outing, so you can expect to see more from this beautiful spot.
All of my HDR photos can be found here.

While on Bora Bora we took an excursion to swim with sharks and stingrays. Although we were well out away from shore, we were still within the barrier reef, and the water was shallow enough to stand up in. Numerous blacktip reef sharks and large stingrays, knowing we were there to feed them, clustered around us in the water. They are about 5 feet long and are very docile and timid. They eat primarily small fish and crustaceans, and occasionally sea birds. Bites to humans are very uncommon, and usually by accident.
That Canon D10 is a great little underwater camera, by the way, if anyone's looking.
(Sorry Toby, I just had to put this one in for you!)
A little Shark Fashion show :D to get ready for a weeks worth of fun - Shark Week starts Tomorrow!!!!
Thank you to Courtney (FablesIVI for this awesome shark purse, I just love it!!!)
This shoot started with a lot of enthusiasm as we drove to the coast hoping to catch a nice sunset and maybe a clear night for the Milky Way. Turning onto Highway 1 at Half Moon Bay we got a 'wet blanket' reception of pea-soup fog that was discouraging to say the least" "Oh well, maybe we can shoot some misty trees..." About 30 minutes later, just like I've read in soooo many Flicker narratives, the fog parted just in time for a beautiful sunset! Hey, wait a minute, this NEVER happens on our shoots (I guess it was finally our turn for some terrific weather. :0) After making a first attempt at shooting the Milky Way we finally packed it in and headed for home a little after midnight. What a great time!

Grey nurse sharks are strictly fish eaters and are totally harmless, but last century they were wrongly blamed for many shark attacks on people in Australia. Spearfishers and divers killed huge numbers of these supposedly highly dangerous sharks using explosive powerheads, and received wide public admiration. They were not likely to admit that killing the sharks was easy, since the sharks are actually docile and spend most of their time swimming very slowly in circles. In a few years the sharks were nearly extinct all along the east coast of Australia.
Eventually it became widely known that grey nurse sharks were not man-eaters and were in serious trouble, and in 1984 the NSW government declared them a protected species -- a world first for a shark. Today there are believed to be as few as 500 individuals left on the east coast, and the maximum fine for killing one is A$220,000 (around US$200,000).

This was shot in the Seaworld Aquarium in the Legoland Günzburg. I love how it all came together. Had to shoot at ISO 6400 in order to freeze the motion a bit and regretted only having the 2.8 zoom with me, but I can live with the noise. I love the composition and the rays of light from above.
