nice shoots!

This shot is nice, like it.
Just one comment/question:
The nudi looks a bit "artificial". That's particularly true on the edges of the gills. The contrast between the gills and the background looks like the "anti-alias" pixels have been removed :think:
It might come from PP, dunno; or did you use any digital zoom?

Nice pix though.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!!

I find that it looks very artificial too...but strangely, I didn't do anything to the pic. If I remember correctly, it's straight from the camera. Gotta go back and check

I shot it bottom up towards the surface. Wasn't really very sharp but I think the colours is quite striking.

It's so difficult to see in the water...thin as paper! I couldn't see it when it was facing me...hahahah.

Love #5 foto. The contrast between the nudi and the blue water is perfect.
