Thomas....suggested using a kayak .....as less obtrusive photographic platform to track white sharks......
he was met with cautious enthusiasm.....
Even though he repeatedly tested the sharks reactions to an empty kayak.....
the first few attempts at a manned kayak were nerve-wracking.......
As he sat in the “yum-yum” yellow sea kayak....a 15-foot (4.5m) great white shark ambled towards him......
However......
white sharks are much more cautious and inquisitive........
than aggressive and unpredictable.......
And this proved true with the experiment....
at no time did the sharks show any aggression toward us or our little yellow craft.......
The story of this particular photograph began on a perfectly calm and glassy sea......
The first shark came across our sea kayak.... dove to the seabed....and inspected it from below.....
he trained his camera on the nebulous shadow...
as it slowly transformed into the sleek silhouette of a large great white....
When the shark’s dorsal fin emerged.......
and he took the shot!
Throughout the day he shot many more similar images.... but all lacked the connection of first image!!!
Damn Thomas......LOL
A good photographer.... and a brave one too!
That shark following you looks bigger than the kayak!!!
Enjoy!

Even I do not know, but if the shark catches up, there will be problems :)
Problem???...it is Disaster
Yep... do you paddle and risk attracting it, or do you stay still and hope it goes away? Yikes!!!
I think you basically just get your board behind you and if it attacks try and make it swallow your board and not you.
wholly shit will happen :P
if its real its dangerous.. I wonder why some people would risk life for photography.. the other day I saw a video of a boy getting eaten by a crocodile.. he wanted to take a selfie with the croc but got eaten instead..a guy nearby took video of the whole event and the video got viral and the guy who took the video got famous..while the one who wanted to take the selfie to get some facebook and instagram likes got eaten making the other guy who was there by chance got famous
Swim FASTER FASTER!!!!!!!!!! NO NO SWIM FASTER!!!
FAAAASSSSSSTTTTTTEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice Camera shoot

confirmed death ! after that shot !
The shark is to fast. Way to fast.
I don't about you but I am always suspicious when I watch Shark Attack photos, because lets face it, a lot of them are obviously fake...
maybe it could be fake also ! but as joe said its award winning photo so it can be real :)
Very intriguing... I think it's fake but it's very nicely done. I would love to be able to zoom in and get a closer look.
Even if it is fake, it still gets my heart pounding!
If that thing did decide to attack there would be absolutely nothing he could do...
Before the Kill SHoot :D lol :D
may be a fake..
Hell of a risk he took for the picture. hates off to him .
You can't run from me :D I am going to eat you :D :p
