What do you do with a decent moray shot where the white in its throat is blown out? Give it a clam's mouth!
I found out that this is actually more difficult to accomplish than I'd originally thought! Enjoy the moment.

LUMINOUS/Original idea is to put this nudi on a black platform and suspend mid water to create the shot,but its immoral,so I seek the aid of photoshop.I just change the background and pumped the contrast a bit - got what I wanted!
