Great creative shot
Tarpon hunting silversides
Mantafest is coming
one mile straight down
I wish the Cayman grottoes would be filled with silversides once more.
Devil's Grotto, July 2013 (the last year of big numbers)
'Spectral' - A southern stingray on the sandbar off the coast of Grand Cayman
'On One Breath' - A freediver ascends from the wreck of the Kittiwake off the coast of Grand Cayman
Colorful Ceilings
Inside the cut out in the iron shore known by local dive guides as the Ballroom.
"Big Green"
A large Green Sea Turtle makes its way over a shallow reef on the North Side of Grand Cayman.
Fantasea Red Filter
I prepared my camera with a fisheye lens, but with my extension ring on the port to create a false vignette. I was hoping for some larger marine life to utilize this effect. Perfect for when a goliath grouper--unusual for Cayman--showed up!
'Cleaning House' - The tiny eyes of pederson cleaner shrimp in the waters off of Grand Cayman
Ready to spread my wings
Southern stingray at the sandbar
Runner Up - worthy of note but not a medal winner - an equal 4th place if you like! Runner Up 2016
2nd place Monthly HotShots

Incredible over/under shot taken at exactly the right time!
queen conch (Lobatus gigas)
A colorful goby models for the camera atop star coral. I used a very shallow depth of field to focus only on the goby's eyes, and to make the rest of its translucent body blur into the backgruound.
Gaudy Clown Crab (Platypodiella spectabilis)
Roughhead Blenny - Acanthemblemaria aspera
'Catching Some Rays' - Southern stingrays enjoying the warm, clear waters of Grand Cayman
shortlistedShortlisted!
'Out On A Limb' - A flamingo tongue cowrie off the coast of Grand Cayman
Spotlight. Caribbean Reef Shark swimming under the sun while the visibility isn't the best at Tiger Beach
