Composition: Behind the Shot

BEHIND THE SHOT: "This image of a Caribbean reef shark was taken in the Bahamas, an island chain famous for healthy shark populations, white sands, crystalline waters and excellent diving conditions." — photo by Sean Gillespie

SETTINGS: f/2.8, 1/200 sec, ISO 100

PRO TIP: “This shot is about much more than the shark. The boat adds depth and a story, with the shark blocking the return to the dive boat.”
