I thought this was an eye shot at first. I like that 'you need a second glance' type of shot
Porcelain crab tucked into an anemone, Komodo, Indonesia
Crown of Thorns abstract, Komodo, Indonesia
Snake eel at night, Komodo. Took a bit of effort to get the lighting right, trying to eliminate any shadows without blowing out any of the sand.

Galapagos sea lion blowing bubbles at me - I spent a lot of time on this dive laughing at their antics...
Clown snake eel lurking in the sand near Tulamben, Bali. Shot lit by narrow torch beam rather than strobes.
Ornate ghost pipefish portrait, taken whilst muck diving at night in Milne Bay, PNG
