This photo was took in pakistan, when the fishermen of this place kill a whale shark (Rhincodon typus) with harpoons, in this photo it can be seen only a part of the people who came to see him like as if a show.
i like this photo becouse i can see a beautifull animal in a incorrect situation, although i see this as a crime,the imposing beautiffull of the animal is for me a metaphor of the unlimited of the nature,I think contrast between beauty and horror like this appear in few cases, and result in a apotheosis image.
on internet you can be found a video of this event, there you can all the situation, it looks like a circus a lot of people look at the great fish being uploaded with cranes and cables, and another pictures showing people stand above this body like a trophy, as if a demostration of superiority, thats a shame.
