"Blue Eyes"
Orange Sided Gobe resting on a sponge. These guys are generally very timid, so being able to get so close to this one was a treat.

"Glow"
I noticed the interesting color of this sponge and new I wanted a shot. I was able to isolate my strobes onto just that sponge and the glowing sun behind the coral head gives this a very dramatic feel.

"Sand Driftin"
I love the separation the sand gives the Shark. They blend in so well with the reef, so I was very excited to see her cruise over this sand patch.

"Curious"
These aren't always the most cooperative subjects. After taking a couple of shots with just the 100mm, I decided to try the +10 Diopter. Luckily this guys was holding his ground and let me get extremely close.

"The Queen"
The colors of the Queen Angel Fish are so vibrant. It isn't very often they will allow you to get close enough for a face on portrait. I think the Turtle eating right beside this one gave it a reason to stick around.

"Babylon"
This massive deep sea pinnacle is without a doubt one of the most prestigious dive sites in Cayman. It is situated on the far North East side of the island making it a long way from anywhere. It is always a treat to descend into the depths

The Hawksbill literally swam up and stopped right on top of me. It didn't touch me and I didn't touch it, but the encounter will last in my memories and with this photograph.

Sometimes the friendliness of the Hawksbill here in Cayman really blows my mind. I love having these encounters were the subject seems interested in you. Maybe they really do enjoy getting their photo taken.

My favorite shot of the invasive Lion Fish. We are seeing less and less of this hungry fish on the dive sites, but sometime I just can't help but snag a couple shots of them, they are very photogenic.
