2024 has been the year of the bait ball in Bonaire. This tired turtle is looking for a place to rest, oblivious of the cyclone of big eye scan just meters away. Shot with a Nikon Z8/Nauticam housing/INON z330 strobes.

Editor's Comment
There's some speculation how this one was done. Looks like an old fashioned double exposure (remember them?) given the extremes in subject size I'd say two lenses were used but it was a Tokina 10-17mm Fisheye.
