"Brilliant Blue Sponge". Natural color of sponge at deeper depths of 15 meters, with darker water for contrast. Used Canon A650IS with internal flash.
Nudi real close. Casio exilim

shortlistedShortlisted!
"Christmas Tree Worms". Taken with Canon A650IS in macro mode at Pescador Island.
"Pincushion Starfish"-This was my first view of a starfish without arms. It was located at Pescador Island on a coral reef ridge, about 7 meters in depth. I used my Canon A650IS in ambient light only.
Hanging on the edge.
Puffball Sponge (Oceanapia sagittaria), a small sponge that is normally buried under sand/rubble. The stalk and puffball are sent up periodically for reproduction. The tendrils remind me of synapses in the brain.
Waiting for an anemone fish to stop long enough to pose is quite a challenge. This Tomato Anemonefish stayed closely inside its host anemone, "Entacmaea quadricolor". I took this shot with a Canon A650IS and used its internal flash.
When I saw a group of these, I thought I was going to be a pearl millionaire. But after closely examining it, the first touch was very soft. Not a pearl...but an algae ball. I took this at "Pescador Island" with a Canon A650IS.
Giant Frogfish (Antennarius commersoni) in Anilao. This is the the biggest and best camouflaged frogfish I've ever seen. It was about the size of a football! Look just above the center for the eye.
"Gliding Through The Spectrums of Color" I used my Canon A650IS with the original picture. Then I manipulated the image with posterization in Photoshop.
Portrait of a Scalefin Anthia (Pseudanthias squamipinnis) from Anilao.
A juvenile moray eel, taken last Jan.6 at Samal Island, Dava city. Used a Canon 450D with 100mm macro lens on a Hugyfot housing. I used 2 inon stobes on this, f16 , 1/80sec

"Camoflauged anemone fish,"Amphiprion perideraion." I spent at least 5 minutes maintaining neutral buoyancy waiting for this fish to appear for a picture. The Heteractis magnifica anemone was a great safe camoflauge. Used Canon A650IS & no flash.

There are so many different colorful corals, that I would have to name this, The Coral Garden. The juvenile Barraccuda are friendly visitors. Canon A650IS used in Bohol Sea during my first week of underwater photography.
My dive buddy dropping in to meet me. I used my Canon A650IS in wide angle mode in ambient light. Sometimes it can be more interesting waiting for your dive buddy slightly below the surface.

Climbing creature...
I found this brilliant red Sea Star about 3 meters deep in the Bohol Sea, Philippines. I used a Canon A650IS in macro mode during my first day of underwater photography.
