I like the Photoshop manipulation
The first regular size Seahorse that I have seen! Traveled to different locations in the Pacific, but, ended up seeing him at Little Cayman.
Sponge scene
1/100 at f14. I spent a whole dive hanging around one spot of coral to get this shot.
Adam at the MV Captain Keith Tibbett's wreck in Cayman Brac. (if you look close, he's motioning me that there is a turtle nearby).
Spinyhead blenny - always so curious.
Moose Horn Coral
I thought this dive would be a "bust" without strobes, but, was pleasantly surprised.
1/250 at f8 with Tokina 10-17. This shot at 10mm and as I looked up I saw the diver swimming back to the boat and waited for him to go through the sun ball.
Rock Beauty (Holacanthus tricolor), a type of Caribbean angelfish.

Arrow crab with anemone and sea rods
Cluster of Sponges, Grand Cayman (Aplysina Fistularis)
Jim was still recovering from surgery and couldn't dive on our last trip to Little Cayman, so I took his camera down and had a great time. One of my favorite shots was this little Arrow Blenny, about 1 inch long.

Stingray City has produced some great u/w shots over the years
French Angelfish with diver
Peek-a-boo
Scrawled Filefish from Little Cayman Island. Jim was recovering from surgery and couldn't dive on this trip, so I took his D300 down and had a blast with it.
Another curious turtle..
Blue Tang - I took this image on a dive on Pageant Beach Reef in Grand Cayman. I used an Olympus 790 SW with the built in flash. The exposure was f/5 at 125 of second, ISO of 160.
Sea anemone. The photo was taken in Grand Cayman in December 2008 on an Olympus 790 SW with the built in flash. The photograph was shot at f 5.0 at 1/125 of a second. The focal length was 20 mm.
1/80 at f14 on 105mm
I am used to diving the Asia Pacific region where anemones are very common, but in The Caribbean they are not so common so I shot this with a black background and was delighted with the colours the strobes brought out.
Elysia pratensis from the Cayman Islands. These little sea slugs are very rare in the Caribbean, so I was really lucky to spot this one.
1/60 at f16
Usually these French Angel Fish are very skittish but after ten minutes or so they got used to me and as they were really interested in eating a sponge they kept coming back to me. I settled down for a long wait and finally was rewarded.
1/250 at f11
I have been working on my CFWA, especially the lighting and the blues.
1/250 at f10
45 minutes of lying in the sand in one 3 foot section of reef and I finally got this shot. I thought my subject was pretty patient too....
Kaleidoscopic image created from a photo of a featherduster. I love the colors on this one.
