Man, I honestly thought this was a pro-quality photo at first, it's that clear and detailed. I love the pilot fish and the broken margins between the white fin patches and the gray remainder of each fin. Have you heard of the theory that oceanic whitetips may use these white patches as visual attractants at long range to lure in prey like skipjack tuna or bonito? And YES, good on CITES!!

Beautiful! I love that you left a lot of deep blue space - really gives a deep sea feeling.
Love the little pilot fish : )
