Hi Alfred,
I like the big yellow eye and the way the body/tail disappears into the darker water.
Excellent detail and lighting. Don't know how you could have improved, even with digital! Great scan, too.
Alfred,
I like the pose and the looks. The image pops out due to the deep blue background. The light falling on the face appears to be bit on the higher side. I think the overall light levels were low, so the light falling directly on the face makes it appear much brighter. Were you diving deep?
Digital would be much easier for you, as you can shoot much more without the thought of running out of film. I remember shooting with EOS 1V HS. I was always scared of trying the 10fps as I would then run out of film in seconds. And since you are underwater, definitely you wont be able to change film. :-)
Look forward to more of your treasures scanned.
Cheers,

Sabyasachi the strobes was used off camera and directed by feel, light output controlled by moving the strobe inches back and forth !!! Not a slick operation !!! Really fun days !!! :)
