Shots that have been digitally edited outside of the camera for creative reasons (not brightness/contrast etc.) in a program like PhotoShop
Plumose anemone.
Cuttlefish hunting. I was taking pictures of this guy for 10 minutes as he hunted. Camera not quick enough to get a good shot of his tentacle shooting out in focus, so with a little greyscale, came up with this interesting shot
This juveline squid joined me with a friend on a night dive in the Straits of Lembeh.It took a good 5 minutes to get this shot,in which time I completely lost the rest of the group,but it was worth it.A bit of PS to remove backscatter and hey presto!
as the sun goes down
E.T. Diver !
The circle behind my wife (E.T.) is in fact the light of the sun on the original picture (and of course not the light of the moon :-)). I used three filters in Photoshop.
This white humpback scorpionfish was sitting on the sand, clear as the day, must feel extremely confident that nobody's going to mess with him.

Holy turtle...
Spiny starfish mouth
If the kaleidoscopic image is created with a big enough "chunk" of the original reef scene, then the original topic may be quite obvious. Where's the fun in that, then? Not Manfred Bail-ian, but still pleasant enough to look at.

always room for an 'arty' one!
