Happy Afternoon Frolic

061030: this pic is a "selected picture" for Wikipedia's Sharks Portal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Sharks

... and as of June 24? ('07), is a "Featured Pic" on Wikipedia (woohoo):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Whiteshark-TGoss5b_hf.jpg

Update: Wikipedia mainpage "Featured Picture of the Day" for Oct. 7, 2007. (Neato! My lucky day (I just found a penny!)....)

UPDATE, Nov 1 '08 :
I just found this image... on the wall at the new Academy of Sciences Steinhart Aquarium! (whoa!) It's in the back a ways, next to a glass case with white shark jaws, next to another case with blue whale baleen. (It's the older edit, the one used at WikiCommons - which is where I believe they got it.) Pretty dern neato, if I do say so myself.....

Wow great shot. I'm jealous. Were you at an aquarium or were you diving? I'm impressed either way. Great composition

Margaret: no, this is definitely not an aquarium - unless you consider the Pacific Ocean an aquarium....

Beautiful photo! Dramatic lighting and nice composition. Such a contrast between the menacing looking predator and the masses of seemingly unaware prey.

Anyone take a photo of this photo that is on display at the Steinhart?
