Additional comments:
I took several pictures of a few different sharks. I have posted all the pics on the following website: http://www.kodakgallery.com/fisher7/main/cancun_-_whale_shark_adventure If any of the pictures will be useful to your research, please let me know and I can send in the originals. I only got a few of the full body shots. The sample file I attached has been resized. I have full 8.2MB files of the originals that I can send in if they are useful.
