Beautiful and clear shot, Beverly. The waters off the Caymans are great for this type of photography. I just wish I had the chance to return there myself to take pictures like yours.Rosanne #171839

Thank you Rosanne. It was taken at Sunset House in Grand Cayman. I've been revisiting my Cayman photos. Grand Cayman was devastated by Ivan. Seems the entire Caribbean is taking a beating from hurricanes. #800123Cathy Barrows September 23, 2004
along with Florida...he looks like a deer caught in the headlights #800223Beverly J. Speed September 23, 2004
LOL...he does sort of look like that, Cathy. Those yellow-tail jacks are used to being hand-fed, so they are quite a nuisance at times...with very sharp teeth. Hope your property didn't get much abuse from the storms. #800268Emily C. Barker September 23, 2004
AWESOME colors, Beverly! Great shot! #800345Beverly J. Speed September 23, 2004
Thanks so much Emily. #800350Brinn MacDougall September 23, 2004
Beautiful as always, Beverly! #800524Murtaza H. Saeed September 23, 2004
Your image is so peaceful, makes me wish I was this fish, alone in my thoughts and quiet and in a beautiful place. Maybe it isn't quite all like that in the waters, for a fish - but its definitely inviting. Let me just go get my fish dress on....... ;) #800700Beverly J. Speed September 23, 2004
Brinn...so many thanks because you've responded to a number of my photos, and I appreciate your letting me know your thoughts.Murtaza...the ocean is so very much alive, and my biggest hope is that through my photography I might share some of the marine life we humans are risking through ignorance and greed. It's my greatest passion in life. #800809
