In the backlight

Photo presents a backlight of two meter long oceanic black tip shark. This scene happened after sunset when sharks gets more aggressive and start to hunt. This shark is just eating his pray. An opened mouth, moved jaw and fluffy gills clearly show a process of swallowing. Additionally we see remoras waiting for their share. Different textures at the surface, natural and artificial light and typical for that region greenish water all make this scene look surreal. South Africa, Aliwal Shoal
