Basking shark - cetorhinidae - venting out

slightly more PP than I would like, but shows the venting and snout; they 'swallow' vast quantities of water to filter off plankton, then push it back out as seen here. A biggish one 5M+

Nikon D80
1/400s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

It must have been really exciting to see this shark. Nice series of photos.
