Fins Outstretched
Wide pectoral fins give this passing shark a winglike silhouette as it glides above the camera’s viewpoint. Its pale belly stands out against deep blue water, with distant fish adding scale to the scene. A striking perspective on marine life at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi, Texas. #EngelPhotography #Sharks #MarineLife #AquariumPhotography #TexasStateAquarium #CorpusChristiTexas
