EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by David Fleetham showcases a Grey Reef Shark in all its menacing glory. The close-up view allows us to marvel at the intricate sensory organs known as ampullae of Lorenzini, which are scattered around the shark's snout and face. These dark pores play a crucial role in the shark's survival, as they enable it to pick up electrical fields and transmit this information to its brain. In Yap, Micronesia, where this photograph was taken, these incredible creatures roam freely in the Pacific Ocean. The image captures the essence of danger and mystery that surrounds these apex predators. With their sharp teeth and powerful presence, Grey Reef Sharks command respect from anyone who encounters them underwater. The grey coloration of their skin blends seamlessly with the surrounding reef environment, making them even more formidable hunters. As we gaze into those piercing eyes through this low-angle shot, we cannot help but be awestruck by nature's design. This closeup reveals every detail of their cartilaginous body structure and reminds us why sharks have been ruling our oceans for millions of years. David Fleetham's skillful capture not only highlights the beauty of marine life but also serves as a reminder that there is still so much left to explore beneath the surface of our vast seas.
