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.

Another photo I've taken of a mantis shrimp hiding in his cave. Taken in Anilao, Philippines.
The image was obtained by placing in situ a plexiglass, handled by an assistant and lighted by a strobe, behind the fish. All was done carefully and lasted a few seconds, to not disturb the animal (Scorpaena notata, Cap Martin, Roquebrune, France),
