Yes I like the ray its a different angle. I also like the picture of the clown/anenome/nemo fish. Normally I dont like photos of these they are so common and boring but yours is a little different. The colours have come out well the grey/blue colour of the anenome is a bit different and it has caught the movement of the fish well it seems a very 'active' photo despite the fact its looking down on one of the fish which usually tends to flatten it out.

Thanks Jane, yes I am pleased with them. They were all mostly shot in RAW and using Apeture priority. No strobe though.

I like the Ray shot aswell, except the bright background which is a little off putting, but without asking him/her nicely to move so I could get a full length shot without it that was the best I could do. I spotted it lying there, I got closer (slowly) thinking it would swim off, no he/she stayed put. I took a couple of shots then moved in closer, still no movement (maybe he/she thinks they were hidden and couldn't be seen). It was only when I left that it moved and a rather peed off party of my group lost the chance of a shot hehe.

There were alot of the common clown in their resident anenome's, so was able to practice different angles on different dives and I the one I posted above is the best of the bunch (IMO).

Thankyou for your comments.

Cheers,

Paul
