It's all about the light!

This is a stitched panorama of 3 photos (taken with a 10.5mm lens). The water was crystal clear and I swam into the blue and took the pics looking back at the divers on Rashdoo wall, Maldives
every time that I witness such a graceful glide above me, amazement at first and "get the sunburst picture!"... life underwater has so many colors and yet my favorite will always be blue...
Did an early morning shore dive today. No boats, no snorkelers and no other divers except my buddy. Came across the manta about 10 minutes in to the dive. Bliss! Using a Canon G10.

excellent composition. This would even work topside. Could have been B&W?
we had an amazing day at monastery beach today, with vis around 80 ft. this was as we were coming back from dropping down the canyon. it just so happens both divers ended up looking the way of the sunburst.
