In this underwater photograph, a great white shark swims head-on toward the camera, mouth slightly open to reveal rows of sharp, triangular teeth. Its powerful body is thick and muscular, tapering into broad pectoral fins that stretch outward like wings. The shark’s rough gray upper body contrasts starkly with its white underbelly, and the sunlight filtering through the clear blue water highlights its sleek, scarred skin. A rope dangles just above its head from bait it’s grabbed. The scene captures both the majesty and raw power of this iconic ocean predator. © Gregory Rothman 2013
