At first glance, thumbnail size this image doesn't have anything to say. Just another bow wreck shot. But when you zoom it... it tells a story and draws you in. Well done Ellen

'I love you too'
This hawskbill turtle seemed to love me so, he approached the dome to embrace with its flippers. I couldn't get lower or get back since the reef was there, but I just enjoyed the moment!

ZEN
My favourite place at dawn. The famous Sandbar (close to Stingray City) in Grand Cayman. We don't feed the Stingrays (we go before the feedings starts). This makes them at ease, like it eases us. They choose to hang around, look, play, rest!

What do we have here...
Even when your strobes don't work and you've lost all colors because of depth (105ft), you always find things you do have, in this case divers and a great wall. Time for a B/W again (maybe I just sell my new strobes;-)

No need for big toys - When knowing how to "draw with the light", even the smallest camera can produce a winner shot. Awesome scene, Ellen !
