Black Tip Reef Sharks, Borneo

One morning at daybreak, Connah was peering into the crystal-clear water off a jetty on Borneo’s Lankayan Island when he spotted these blacktip reef sharks attempting to herd a crowd of small fish. As if in slow motion, the fish swirled around the predators, creating shapes “a bit like a kid’s kaleidoscope,” says Connah. Moments after he took this photograph, the sun rose fully, the wind came up and visibility disappeared.
