That is a one of a kind picture and story telling subject there. Just wondering did you go beyond that point? lol The coloring is well done great focus and clarity the lighting is captured well and a perfect rule of thirds with the frame work is well done. Great job.

Comment from liseworks
ha,,,beautiful place though,,why would they put such a stupid sign? It should rather say watch for sharks,,,I really do not find this very humourous, but hey to each his own,,I cant even believe a sign like this actually exists, lol,,love the colours of the sky, water, white waves crashing on the shores,,would have like to see a shark maybe if its that infested,,,,

This is a great entry for the competition. I like the positioning of the sign and the composition in general. I would suggest that the background is a tad under-exposed which has resulted in loss of detail in the shadows.

Good luck in the competition. Thank you so much for sharing.

Ouch. That would kind of hurt. The reason I don't scuba dive is that when I enter the water at that depth, I am no longer at the top of the food chain. Just a personal observation. Lovely sky and water. Very nice image. Good luck. thank you for sharing.

the most dangerous sharks (white, bull and tiger sharks) attack on the beach, at shallow water..............

Did not know that. Will file away for future precaution. Thank you.

Yes, the sign makes me smile, but I'm more drawn to the beauty of the water and landscape. This is nicely framed with great depth of field.

Comment from Imaginos
The Shinigami Dispatch Society would like to thank all trespassers for messing up our paperwork! Haha!

Seriously though, here we have a beautiful photo of the ocean and a beautiful sign messing up the Darwin effect. Oh well... It is a nice photo all the same.

I've never heard of an infestation of sharks but in this case it seems appropriate. A great sign in a very fine landscape. It should do well in the contest. Best of luck in the voting.
