[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken in Redang Island, Malaysia. Redang Island is situated in the east coast of West Malaysia. The shark was very close to me at that time so scary. Luckily, I managed to take those shot.

The blue water in Malaysia is just so beautiful.

Nice shot Kenneth!

You REALLY beat the odds in capturing this shot. What are the chances of you just trying to get a photo of the lady your with, AND getting the shark in the photo as well! Did you know it was in the frame when you took the photo?

I'm a diver, and have dove many times around the East Coast of Malaysia- and normally the sharks (like the back tip you've photographed here) will take off well before you even see them. I think I've only seen one black tip in the years I've been diving.

Well done!

Hi Ken, Good underwater composition. The shark looks small thankfully. Clarity and colours are fine for this demanding situation. Good to see on TE. Murray.
