I like the colours of this one and the flash also shows the colours on the otherwise barren rock. Unfortunately I hadn't the macro lens on, so the image is not pinsharp. Hope that you like it anyway.

Inside the entrance of Palm Mar cave. A beautiful divesite with lots of stuff to entertain you,including the fierce looking tiger moray. The cross is a grim reminder of the unfortunate dives having lost their lives exploring the Cave.
