I love the morey.
Difficult to have such a clear picture with such a wide aperture, those darn animals never stop to move !
A very good job !

Is that a crop ? What material did you use?

The little sucked was posing. He was fairly still. when I first saw him, he was picking off little fish that were swimming by in a school. I tried to get a shots, but the damn 100mm macro DOF is not quite cut out for that.

When the fish swam off, he started posing, came out quite a way and sat right in front of the camera...

*LMAO* can't remember the dive site, but the DM said "there is not much there, but not much other choice" as I had already done a 32m dive, and he wasn't too keen on taking me back to 32m so I could take the macro lens to shoot the pygmy sea horses that were down there. Something about not wanting to go into deco.

So we went to this site instead, and I was pleasantly surprised, could have quite happily kept snapping away for another hour, plenty to see. The 2 shrimp and the crab were al on the same anemone, along with another crab that got under the anemone before I could shoot it.

Scubagil - did a little bit of sharpening, and also played a little with the contrast.
I'm quite happy to post up an unedited version to compare. Actually, I'd like to get opinions on which is better...
