Nice portrait, Enrique.

Very nice! I love the light rays near the bottom, and the underside of the top of the water.

I had the same thoughts as Greg when I looked at this. Must be a fascinating experience swimming and photographing these creatures.

Thanks guys, yes, it is fascinating and amazing... I am already planning a second visit :-) this first one was too short.
