"When I first saw this shark nestled in the rocks on a night dive, I was disappointed that I couldn't get its whole body with my macro setup. Then I realized that a close-up of the "evil eye" and sandpaper skin might make a great photo. I was initially apprehensive about resting the framers of the extension tubes againt his head, but the shark seemed completely indifferent to it."
