Larger Than Life (79 of 365)

GA_Aq_Whale_Shark_Two[2009]

I love this picture. It's not the greatest composition, or focus, but it's neat. How many times am I going to be that close to a freaking whale shark! If I'd been able to fit my hand through the bottom of the scaffolding I could've reach down and touched him. That's how close I was! There was no zoom involved in this picture.

On another note, this gives you a better idea of just how large these beautiful animals are.

Now I'm jealous, would love to dive with them, closest I have come was to run my hand down the dorsal wing of a giant Manta Ray in the water just outside Darwin.
