I really hope this shot does well. I'm very proud of it. Underwater photography is so hard to master. No light down there, the deeper you go the less color there is. You have only so long until your air runs out and of course nothing poses for you.
hoping for at least 6+

This one deserved a far better place IMO..... Underwater photg is sooooo much harder then it appears and this was a great shot at it. I love the sun in the corner and the light in the foreground is great given the situation.
I like this shot, but I would add a focal point of interest. Right now I'm not sure whether it's supposed to be the round object towards the bottom, the coral sprouting from it, or the scattered fish.
Amazing detail, vibrant color, beautiful lighting. The composition, though I think is a bit too heavy on the bottom. It tends to drag the eye away from the much more colorful stuff at the top. I almost feel as if I'm looking at what should be two separate photographs. (Both of them very good in their own right!)
