I've been wondering for a rather long while what in the world this guy's hand is doing on this shark. Anybody know what actually went down? Photoshop or weird luck?

LOL yeah that one is working! I don't think I've seen that before actually. I do know that is a great white and they will regularly come up to the surface and stick their heads out of the water... Guess the guy in the picture just has brass balls and decided to touch one while it was doing that. Doesn't look photoshopped to me
 
Awesome caption. I'm voting it's real even though that's the last thing I would do in that situation.To hell with the ocean and anything that gets that big with teeth.
 
My guess is..

Shark hunters or someone studying them, they brought one to the surface and the guy reached out and touched it.
 
First time I've seen it. Pretty cool.
 
there are guys who put their hand on the nose of the great white which causes them to stick their heads out of the water even further... scientist say its causes the nerve and sensery receptors to "short curcuit" cuasing them to to open there mouth nice and wide and usually come out of the water more... i'll try and find a video

as for is the photo real... my gut says yes. but there is always skepticism in something like that

this guy actuall cuts his finger on a tooth O_O
