Theme 29 Jun - 05 Jul: Almost, so very close, if only

[jakubson]

In Belize, I found this rubble cave in the sand with two eels in the same hole. I waited and waited, then took what I thought was the perfect shot!



When I checked the LCD, I saw that one of the eels was hiding. After five minutes and 10 more shots, I finally got it! Looked perfect on the LCD.



It was only when I downloaded to the laptop that I saw that the one eel was out of focus. @$#^&*&$!

Would have been a nice picture of a Junvenile Koran Angelfish(I think, or a juvenile Emperor Angel Fish) had it not been for the #@!* fish that swam in front.

This fella was coming in too fast and too close for my comfort. Had shaky hands at that point in time. Can tell from the shot.

You know the shots I'm talking about!! Don't be shy - let's see those "would have been so great..." images:

DRAT!

I am truly an amateur; I think some of the above pics are pretty good! :11:

I usually dump my bad pics, but I have kept some I-just-can't-delete-this ones, more than I thought after I went back and looked at some of my folders.

Photo 1: scubajunkee gets caught up in kelp and is nice enough to pose with incriminating evidence; what was I looking at?

Photo 2: divers at Blue Hole in Belize--yeah it's diver's back sides AND fuzzy, but not likely I'll get back there in this lifetime

Photo 3: the most in focus but terribly framed pic that I just can't part with

That's a great picture of my snorkel!

Ok, so I wasn't thinking when I posted my Balloonfish pic.

Here are a couple that match the title of the thread.
