Thanks everyone for the kind comments!

Please,

What is that on...what the heck is that? #2
Don't get me wrong, love it!

It's a detail of an anemone. Glad you like it!

very very impressive.!!
The fine details are great. Superb focus.
Did you use manual focus when you stack the UCLs.

I have never seen such good results while using stacked UCLs

Thanks! Yes, always manual focus. Takes a lot of practice stacking them. There are a few things that help. First, don't use macro mode. Second, be sure you zoom in. You can play with how much zoom to use to find the sweet spot and also to decide how much of the subject you want to fill the frame. Then, half press the shutter to lock focus on the key features (ie the eyes of a critter), then reposition the camera for the composition you want, while moving it in and out until the focus is as crisp as you can get it. Then, snap! Practice on land, helps!

Magnificent Jennifer. Do you have any residual symptoms??

Thanks, Ken. No residual symptoms. That's the toughest part about it all. I feel like I could (and I certainly want to) go diving right now!!!!
