Martin, what an incredible abstract image! I really like the pattern and colors of the fish. I wish the LLC had the same light and sharpness as the URC. I also love that the pattern falls on a diagonal...it really draws my eye from one side to the other.

Hey Martin, very cool subject, and nice abstract feel. Would like to see it a bit brighter, a little on the dark side for my taste.

[Martin Wallis]

Thanks Julie and Mike, I would've liked it to be sharper all over personally. Lighting is always a bit hit and miss while trying to place 2 strobes at different angles while composing the shot and diving:) I will lighten it a bit and see how it looks too.
Cheers

Great detail and colours Martin. There must be so many wonderful little creatures in the ocean and thanks for giving us a look at that world.:)
