A great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) opens his jaws at the surface off of Mexico’s Isla de Guadalupe. This is re-process in b&w of one of my older shots. I was going for a bit of mystery with the higher contrast and dark water. Despite the fact that we often see white sharks in imagery with their jaws agape, this is hardly an accurate representation of the species. They are generally very graceful and tranquil. Unfortunately, the dramatic open-jaw shots tend to draw the most attention.
