    Not too sure on this one, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Difficult to get close to these using a fisheye lens, but this one was a little braver. Still only about 1/2 of the original frame here, so I think the IQ may have suffered a little. Anyway, I liked the 'whip' in the tail, so hopefully it might just pass muster!

    Hi Mike - I also immediately noticed the whip in the tail and was drawn to it. I also like the kicked up sand. They combine to give a sense of movement to the image. I think it works. Nice colors too.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Its good to see something different. I agree with Rachel on this one. I also like that habitat is included in the image.

    Hello Mike,

    This works well for me too, love the colours and image design and especially the tail

    So nice to see some environment here. IQ not bad at all and you did great, capturing this beauty! Love the framing.

    I would really like to try my hand at underwater photography, but don't think my current gear would survive a minute when dipped into the Indian Ocean

    Thank you so much for sharing, a pleasure to view. Please keep them coming

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
