The Look in Your Eye

In the Azores, an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Portugal, a curious blue shark decides to get a close look at Your Shot photographer Mike Harterink’s camera. This “curious,” metallic-colored shark got as close as it could to its human observer, bumping into the camera with its snout. “Just after he touched the dome with his snout we looked each other in the eye for a brief moment,” Harterink writes.
