I could make some Jaws theme music joke... then someone would correct me and tell me that this is a bonnethead.. Not a Great White, (actually I imagine they would tell me it is a hammerhead shark) and we would completely miss the fact that the shark that started the whole story that became Jaws (however loosely) was a Bull shark and not a Great White.

ok.. I love this photo.. Full disclosure - Andy bumped the contrast just a tad... which removed some of the glare from the acrylic the photo was shot through.. I have the original still but this is just.. Amazing. I love the piercing stare.. and the reflection.
