00:35 Florida Photographer Captures Osprey Holding a Shark Eating a Fish At first, this nature photographer had no idea he’d captured such an amazing shot. It shows three levels of the food chain!

At a Glance Florida photographer Doc Jon recently captured an image of an osprey carrying a shark, which has a fish in its mouth.

The image was captured April 12 during a walk along Madeira Beach on Florida's Gulf Coast.

The photographer said the bird was flying 400 feet above the ground, so he was lucky to get such a clear image.

A Florida photographer captured one of the most unique images of his life earlier this month when he spotted an osprey carrying a shark, which was snacking on a fish at the same time.

The photographer, who goes by Doc Jon, told weather.com that he captured the picture while walking along Madeira Beach near Johns Pass, west of St. Petersburg, on April 12. Initially, he didn't realize just how incredible the image was, as the bird was flying about 400 feet off the ground.

"I go home, and I open it up and see (the photo) and I saw the tail first on the fish and realize it was a shark tail," he said. "And then I zoom in and I’m like, 'Holy crap, that’s a shark.' And then I see the fish in the mouth ... I just couldn’t believe I had gotten that picture."

When he got home, he shared several images of the incident on his Facebook page , but to his surprise, it wasn't getting much feedback from his fans and the photography community. But in a zoomed-in version of the photo, fans could see just how phenomenal the rare image truly was.

A self-described lightning photography freak who has fallen in love with shelf clouds since moving to Madeira Beach, Jon said he has one regret about the viral image.

"My first thought is I wish it was cleaner," he said. "It’s not a very good photograph, but that far away and no tripod – it’s a pretty long-distance shot."
