"To see a 2,000-pound [900-kilogram] shark inverted above the water is certainly a sight that leaves the observer speechless," photographer Chris Fallows said. "[In South Africa] Seal Island's great whites have become world famous for this behavior, and hopefully the attention that this attracts can be positively used to show just what special animals they are."
