It pays to fill the frame. Rico has elevated an ordinary moray shot to a great moray shot by a tight crop
Lionfish closeup
A sunny afternoon at the reef. CANON 40D with Sigma 10-20mm lens & "magic filters" ( no strobe ). Na'ama Bay, Egypt - Red Sea
"Interaction" - At the end of a long snorcling uw photo session, this lionfish appeared in just 60 cm deep water. 1,5 hours of PS work on this pic since the entire scene was covered with dust & sand particles. I hope, that's the right category ;-)

Classic coral/diver scene. Dedicated to the 70year old german lady who got killed by a shark in Sharm El Sheikh yesterday - my thoughts are with her family.
