A shark approaches at an angle, bringing its rounded snout, curved mouth, and sweeping fins into view. The close perspective emphasizes its shape against blue water scattered with small silver fish. Captured at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi, Texas. #EngelPhotography #Shark #AnimalPortrait #AquariumPhotography #TexasStateAquarium #CorpusChristiTexas #MarineLife
