Nature's finest caught on camera


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3761114.stm


This picture of two sharks feeding on a "bait ball" earned the photographer the Wildlife Photographer of the Year award, the highest honor in world photography.

Gorgeous pic!

6. well
it's not easy to GET such a picture. It's a rare sight to see sharks feeding on a bait ball, it's hard to get good pics underwater under the best of circumstances, and the light and composition of this picture is quite good.

It had to have been VERY difficult to get that shot.
