This is such an amazing picture and spectacular spectacle of nature. Great whites have and always will be my favorite ocean animal. I love them.....The 'thing' that really says it all is the sheer fact of the amence size of the shark compared to the divers..WOW is all a person can really say.Presiovation is the main factor here and if this image does not appeal to everyone else, then i think that humanity will forever be lost in the glutonous ways of non preservation to the wonders of the world.Please let's keep this DREAM A REALITY? Keep these animals here for all our children's children for the future to come.Thanks again for the beautiful image!!!!!!!!!

What a rush to see that large of a specie...He or She has to be at least 20 feet....Lots of marks from whales or larger predators.....Very nicely framed ...
