a great light on this one - we would call this a carpet shark!

Guest		04-Jul-2006 16:28
Great shot, Herb. Right place, right time!

Karen Leaf		04-Jul-2006 02:35
Love the sinker in the corner :) He is beatiful, but I'm still creeped out bringing one upon the hook, or the thought that they are swimming in 'my water'

joanteno		03-Jul-2006 20:28
Stunning shot!

Pedro Libório		03-Jul-2006 20:18

Never seen one. Thanks for sharing this wonderful shot.

Wicked - a leopard shark! I've snorklend with those guys, really placid creatures. The species aside you've caught this shot in great light. Beautiful golden glow.

Ray Rebortira		03-Jul-2006 15:04
Beautifully composed, great colours, the right moment, a truly spectacular and perfect capture. Bravo!!!

J. Scott Coile		03-Jul-2006 14:08

Taking the fish for a walk... Could only be California, LOL! Wait until Paris Hilton sees this!

lou_rozensteins		03-Jul-2006 10:59
An interesting shark. The pattern is quite different to anything I have seen. Great light too. Well done.

Karen Stuebing		03-Jul-2006 10:15
Fantastic capture. I love all the gold and the markings on the fish. I'm glad it wasn't killed. It's much too pretty.

Gabriele Hasslacher		03-Jul-2006 09:57
Very impressive! ... wäre auch zu schade für eine läppische Haiflossensuppe!

Jackdad		03-Jul-2006 09:33

shatterbug		03-Jul-2006 05:23
Great shot! The shark does not look happy, he's probably saying "wait 'til I grow up"..lol.

Robin Reid		03-Jul-2006 04:55
Excellent Herb. Good eye and catch and the lighting really adds. I like your crop also, keeping the man in the scene helps set the context.

Kerry Tingley		03-Jul-2006 04:52
He's gorgeous. I'm glad you returned him to the ocean. Great photo. Kerry

Bryan Murahashi		03-Jul-2006 04:35
