"Twist"
When you see the Sharks body coil up prepare to see the true speed and power of these beautiful animals. It only takes a split second for them to dart away out of sight.

"Overhead"
A Spotted Eagle Ray trusting me enough to fly right over my head. I try to let the Rays come to me, as I feel the calmer you can stay the more inclined they will be to come in for a close look.

Jellyfish Abstract
I photographed facing up toward the top of the water to include the rippling water, and use the soft, overcast surface light to illuminate the jellyfish. I love how the jellyfish are reminiscent of both ameobas and flowers.

Encounters of the Apex variety.

"Sky High"

Soft swaying with the flow of the current.

"Puzzle Piece"
A Small Blenny lines it self up perfectly with the groove on a Brain Coral.

"Does He See Me"
This Blenny was very cooperative. I used the +10 Diopter for this shot, so was glad he trusted me enough to get the big rig right up on him for this shot.

"Purple Porch"
A Gaudy Clown Crab on a Purple Vase Sponge.

"Groovin"
A tiny Triple Fin Blenny settles in a groove of Brain Coral.

"Blue Eyes"
Orange Sided Gobe resting on a sponge. These guys are generally very timid, so being able to get so close to this one was a treat.

Great Whaleshark with reflex, Isla Contoy Mexico

"Glow"
I noticed the interesting color of this sponge and new I wanted a shot. I was able to isolate my strobes onto just that sponge and the glowing sun behind the coral head gives this a very dramatic feel.

"Sand Driftin"
I love the separation the sand gives the Shark. They blend in so well with the reef, so I was very excited to see her cruise over this sand patch.

"Slug Train"
These Leech Headshield Slugs were playing a nice game of follow the leader.

"The Arrow"
A Red Lined Arrow Crab resting in a bunch of Whip Corals.

Caribbean Reef Squid
This is the actual color! The squid was changing color as it swam forward and back, checking me out. It was moving up and down through the water column as well, enabling me to get this angle.
Shortlisted!

"Arrow Eye"
A very hard subject to photograph. The size of a normal Blenny, but spends all of it's time free swimming.

"Curl"
An Arrow Blenny with a green algae background.

"Spread Your Wings"
A Large Triple Fin Blenny resting on a sponge.

"Red Cling"
A Red Cling Fish doing what it does best. Latched on to a Gorgonian Branch.
