Wonderful over/under shot of an unusual creature. Great job with the lighting and colors above and below the surface
Overunder shot. A brown Caribbean Pelican is resting on its baits after a few strikes. Just once a year happens that a big ball of scads get close to the shores of Bonaire attracting many predators.

'Just The Two Of Us' - Southern stingrays gliding over the sea floor off the coast of Grand Cayman
I've been trying to get some good over/under photos of the whale sharks in Honda Bay, Palawan for a long time, and have managed quite a few in this last year. I've been going on this boat since the first trip nearly ten years ago.

Grey seal
I took some sunset shots from the water but the visibility wasn't great... as I got out, I noticed that the tide had dropped low enough for me to hop into a rock pool and get some interesting sundown shots!
"Turtle Youth"
A very small Green Sea Turtle swimming and looking for turtle grass just off Seven Mile Beach.
"Brief Blue Moments"
Getting images of Turtles on or near the surface takes respect. You respect the animal and earn its trust and in turn it will be reciprocated with awesome encounters and images to save the memory.

"Starfish And Water Droplet"
Starfish over-under photograph. Look closely: a drop of water is frozen as it bounces off the surface of the water!
