Personally, I find the glare in #1 a little too distracting. Somehow, it takes away the attention from the school.
I love #2 though. I love the way the sunrays are captured and how the rays lead down to the school of fish below. Nice shot!![]()
how are these in color?
Slides......so much tougher to get it right then digital. Good effort. I like #2 too beocs of the sunbursts.
This is at the drop off in the morning?
maybe the shadows are too strong in the B&W version? I'm leaning towards the B&W one..have a thing for B&W shots.
great stuff, btw! love the drop-off...wonderful nudibranchs in 5m of water..could've spent an hour there!
Hey,,,guess..wat..I got similar pic taken from Layang Layang.
hahaha.......
Woo, I prefer it in colour. More post-processing can be done, in my view. For one, the glare is too overwhelming and attention-seeking, drags the focal away.

I like how the sunrays 'wraps' around the school in #2. :thumbsup:
You went Bali again recently huh?![]()

If you could tear away from the glare in #1 for a moment (maybe like you said, stop down 1 or 2 stops more), and perhaps had the opportunity to tilt the camera upwards a tinny bit more (and leave a little less black space below), then the dynamics of the #1 would make it the overwhelming winner.
My viewpoint is purely from the dynamics of the school. Technically I agree with all the gurus here that #2 is technically superior. But you can't beat the dynamism in the first shot. Sayang...
The last one is nicer in bw, IMHO.
No offence meant, but your photo is somewhat weaker. The dynamics of the school is very strong in h2o's shot, much weaker in yours.
But I love the breakaway...
And I can't do any of these as my widest is 28mm, and my strobe is tinny, and Bali may be too cold, current too strong.... sobb...
Good job, bro.
