JAWS

A few months ago I went cage diving with Great Whites. Seeing these animals up close, makes you realise, they are not the evil killers, they have the reputation for.
This artwork is based on a shot I took from the dive.

This artwork is based on a shot I took, while shark diving in Australia in November.

JAWS belongs to the following groups:

    Well, if they were tiny- say as long as my hand- I would probably love them. As big as they are, I´m glad I don´t have to swim together with them.
    Your picture captures the shark as an impressive animal.

    Stunning capture of one of most misunderstood marine animals

  • Katja Fønss

    Katja Fønss

    Yep, we agree.
    I can see it might look a bit scarier, than a vending machine, but the fact is vending machines kill more people, than sharks do.

    Awesome capture…most impressive animals are they not…

  • Katja Fønss

    Katja Fønss

    Oh yes, they are. Thanx for you comment.

    Wow, nice shot, and you’re right. Sharks are perhaps the most amazing creatures on earth. I remember when I wanted to be a marine biologist to study sharks (just a little tyke). I guess I still do, or capture their beauty in artwork. SOS ( Save Our Sharks! )

    Yep, we need more people with that opinion. Thanx for your comment!

    I agree, amazing creations of nature. However, that said I was going to go wading for fish tomorrow…..!!!!!

    Hehe…just remember this. There’s probably more chance of you twisting your angle and drowning, than there is of you getting attacked by a Great White.
    Thanx for your comment.

    These photo’s are so brilliant, Katja!! Years ago, I used to scuba dive in an area notorious for sharks (great whites) and even saw one at a distance. Magnificent animals!

    Magnificent Beauty! I have thought about doing this, but can’t seem to make the leap.

  • Katja Fønss

    Katja Fønss

    You should definitely do it!!!
    I wasn’t sure because it was a bit of a hassle to get there. But I did it, and know I am wondering why I was even hesitating.
    It is an experience of a lifetime!!!

    I have wanted to do that since I was three years old!!!! Unfortunaly the funds have never been there.
    I really wanna swim in the open with the tiger sharks someday!

  • Katja Fønss

    Katja Fønss

    Yea, me too. I wanna see more sharks, but it’s not easy when you live in Denmark.

    This is a great shot, I think it would suit the group In the eyes of danger

  • Katja Fønss replied

    Thanx Paul.
    I’ve just had a look at the group and think it has a cool topic and great photos.
    I’ll add the shark.

    Thanx. They are very misunderstood indeed.

    Thanx a lot!
    It was such a great day for shark diving. The water was completely clear. We were so lucky!
