Description
Little kids watching a Ragged Tooth Shark passing by at the aquarium at u'Shaka Marine World in Durban, SA. Not the best pick with the top fin cut off but I like it.
I took Kayla for a weekend trip to Durban which turned out interesting. She got very sick and I had to rush her to a doctor for antibiotics. Her fever was off the charts. Between her being sick and bad weather, we did manage to do some fun stuff. :-) I will just have to take her again....
Thanks for popping in and for your very welcome comments and favs on my last upload "A Touch of Red - for Denise".

That shark simply looms and I think that it's a great pic no matter how it's naturally cropped. I mean, it's not like you can get sharks to cooperate, now can you? I love the underwater blues and the silhouettes. This is really brilliant and kinda fun in that kids at the aquarium sort of way.

Wonderful the way that you can feel the kids' excitement!

The POV here is more than excellent - the shark loos here great - but the shadows of the kids give this capture a special moment

@ Barbara - no flash used. I have a 50mm 1.4f fixed lens that allow me pretty good images in low light situations!

Superb capture |Carin. I do remember me and my families visit to Ushaka. Did not have a descent camera at that time. God Bless.

I don't know about you Carin but I find aquariums one of the hardest places to shoot. You can't use am external light, and there are always hordes of people everywhere! I like this shot though.

Great ambience in this shot of the kids, rapt in awe, contrasted against the blue of the water, Carin. Oh, I can just hear the ominous theme from the movie now with that streamlined predator circling round and round in that humongous water tank. And I hope Kayla is okay now.

I'ts not so bad without the fin. I say this do to your having captured the girth of this big predator along with the kids, looks great!!

my that is one big toothy beast and I do hope Kayla recovered well
MrsRatbag
Fantastic shot, top fin or not! I wonder if the shark is thinking "Which one should I pick for dinner?" LOL!
jeditojan
Great shot! It looks to me like he has his eye on the kids.

An amazing capture of the 'big beast' - scary! I do hope the kids won't have nightmares after seeing this, I know I would ... but a fine representation with your skills, BB
