    Thank you to all of you. It was great moment. I hung out of the cage when this seven meter long female shark starts to come up vertically, with sunshine in his face. Is he not looking like a smiley? Believe me, in that moment I never felt danger.
    Regards, Norbert

    This is majestically beautiful and terrifying at the same time, briliiant colour and tone control, great composition, great stuff yet again Norbert.

    Amazing, it actually looks like you are the prey hovering above the great white and he is just about to attack. Not so much smiling but more like sizing you up haha.

    I really want to get my dive qualification sorted. I’m so eager to do some marine photography. The National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth is having to suffice for now, but I doubt it is in the least bit comparable.

    Hey Norbert, I spent a month in South Africa doing White Shark research in 2002 – Some of the best times i’ve had were in the company of this magestic apex predator. This is an excellent shot, with great visibility. I love the rays of light changing the colour of the water too. Your images are some of the best ive seen!
