My worst daydream when I would be out surfing all alone.
After 40 years of surfing, I never saw a Great White while I was on my board waiting for a wave. That said, I have seen several when boating a just few hundred yards off shore.
As a SCUBA diver , I have had the opportunity to dive with Nurse sharks , Sand Tigers , Reef sharks and a couple of Hammerheads. I was close enough to reach out and grab all but the Hammerheads so I guess I was close enough for them to take a taste if they were so inclined. I was diving on a wreck off the N.C.coast and a Sand Tiger swam over my shoulder and invited me on a tour of his wreck. Nitrogen narcosis at 130 feet is a wonderful thing. BTW , the tour he took me on was absolutely epic. So far , I haven't see a Great White underwater.
André Bauma, the head caretaker at the Senkwekwe Center for orphaned gorillas in Virunga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo, risks his life daily for the animals in his care. In recent decades, more than 170 rangers have been killed in the park, and the Senkwekwe Center has been overrun by rebels on multiple occasions. Even in these moments, Bauma has never abandoned the center’s gorillas.

Looking at this one again,I'm seeing the reflection is fake...The details in the hill with digital noise and lighting.And the clouds don't match...Sorry.
I think you're seeing the ripples in the reflection. I think it's legit (not that I'm an expert).
Disagree. The "digital noise" is ripples in the water and if you look closely, the clouds do match to the extent possible given the perspective. Because you're viewing the clouds and the water at a different angle, the clouds won't be a perfect mirror image due to perspective.

Plus, it would appear that the reflection has been touched up and more contrast and saturation added to that bottom half of the picture
