I was incredibly grateful for this rare closeup encounter with a thresher shark. A closeup portrait of a thresher shark is not something we see quite often, it gives us a unique perspective to the details on their snouts and eyes and gills.

A Thresher shark approaches me head on and curves itself displaying all its fins and the glorious whipping tail. The silhouette of a second thresher shark in the background gives a feeling of a shadow in the image.
