Eye to Eye with a Shark
A shark passes close to the glass, revealing its pale-ringed eye, defined gill slits, and the subtle texture of its silver-gray skin. Its sweeping profile fills the frame against deep blue water, while smaller fish and warm-toned reef formations add depth to the background. Photographed at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi, Texas. #EngelPhotography #Shark #SharkPhotography #MarineLife #TexasStateAquarium #CorpusChristi #AquariumPhotography #AnimalPortrait
