Beautiful image. The color contrasts are really good. I like how you captured the little guy looking right at you guarding his anemone. Nicely done. Missy #554869Colleen Farrell November 11, 2006

Superb! Excellent colors, detail, clarity and lighting, Beverly! Congrats! #3600317Beverly J. Speed November 18, 2006
Thanx, RC!The colors in the ocean just 'pop' with strobe lighting. What looks black may be a rich, deep blue...what looks brown turns bright red...it's like Christmas opening the images from dive trips.
Much appreciate your comments.
