BORTH, WALES - MAY 24: A close-up view of a petrified ancient tree on May 24, 2019 in Borth, Wales. A prehistoric forest which was buried under water and sand more than 4,500 years ago has been uncovered on the beach between Ynys-las and Borth in mid-Wales. The forest has become associated with the myth of a sunken civilization, known as Cantrer Gwaelod, or or the Sunken Hundred, and devotees believe the area was a once-fertile land and township stretching for 20 miles. The remains of the forest's trees, preserved in the local peat, have been exposed by low tides and high winds from the recent Storm Hannah. (Photo by Matthew Horwood/Getty Images)

The image was taken on March 3 from inside a shark cage by photographer Kane Overall. Kane was just a few feet from the 11-foot female shark. Magnus News Agency newsdesk@magnusnewsagency.com +44(0)7487271690 PHOTOGRAHER GETS JAWSOME SHOT OF HUGE GREAT WHITE CHARGING HIS SHARK CAGE UNDERWATER WITH PIX By Magnus News Agency A photographer got this JAWS-some shot of a huge great white charging his shark cage underwater. Kane Overall, 32, took this stunning picture on March 3 from inside a shark cage off Neptune Islands in South Australia. Using a Canon 5d Mark IV with a 50 mm 1.4 lens Kane was able to get this incredible image of the apex predator. The big female fish was over 11-foot-long and outside of the cage would have proved a deadly subject for a close up. Kane said: â€œShe was a female and around 3.5m. It came in around two metres from the cage and then one time charged us for this shot and ended up turning off around two feet from my camera. â€œI knew it was going to be a pretty wild shot but maybe too close as I was shooting 50mn. â€œWhen I got up on the boat everyone crowded around the camera in the housing for a quick look and we were all blown away.â€ ENDS Picture: Kane Overall/ Magnus News
