I am glad to see a few people got the "stupid" part of this.
I was going for the humorous angle (I should know better by now) thinking that swimming with any animal with "Killer" in it's name could be considered kinda stupid.
Thanks for all the great comments and the votes.

Not sure why many did not see that this is at least a tiny bit "stupid". IMO this could be considered stupid on several levels. After all, this woman is letting a massive beast toss her through the air - risking life & limb. It's sort of the same kind of stupid as the circus guy who puts his head in the mouth of a lion. Well done and sorry about the DNMC nazi's - still - top 30 ain't bad!
Great shot, but very surprised the voters ranked it so high.
Not taking anything away from the shot mind you, just seems a stretch meeting the challenge really, at least in my opinion.
This is really a very good image, and captured so very well, but feel you lost points as it isn't very stupid at all, as it is actually very very clever. The capture and timing is just excellent and it is a very powerful image.....One you should be very proud of.
I'm going to vote high on this, because it's a really good picture (and capture of motion). I really like the shot...but in MY opinion it isn't stupid. I won't dock you, just remember it for next time.
