That is beautiful. I love the silvery lighting. It's easy to imagine being just under the surface of the water looking at this.

Beautiful. I like the way the blue of the fish is reflected differently depending on position, and of course set against the blue of the water.

Such a peaceful image!
I honestly did not know there was such a thing as a blue fish. That is just so cool.

My post is here: Carletta’s Captures.

I admire anyone who can dive in the first place... and anyone who can dive and take beautiful pictures while keeping one eye out for jellyfish and/or a shark... well, that is spectacular!
