I don't have very many seahorse pictures unfortunately. There just arent many on the side of the island I dive on usually. This one was from Utila, and of course the strobe quit firing that dive.
Here's my Hondurian sea horse, '03, he might be a big filly by now!

excellent
Nice stuff, Jon. I really like the bug and the flounder. The surface effect on the second fan shot is great and the big Cuda in the bait school is really nice as well.
nice set of images, that lobster is very cool! never see them in the open like that over here.
Can i give a suggestion? Quite a bit of shadow on pics 3 and 4 from keeping your strobe way off to the right.
When shooting vertical try to bring the strobe back up over top of your camera so it is in the 11 oclock to 1 oclock area. This will cut down on the harsh shadows.

Mike Veitch:
Thanks for the tips Mike. I really wish I could swim more with two strobes. I have been in the habit of trying to get the strobe under the subject when shooting up on a wall or high piece of coral. Usually I can manage to get rid of the shadows like that, light the subject from the bottom and better match the light on the surface. My problem is I usually rush the shots, either I have taken a hundred just like it or people are swimming up behind me and I dont really stop to take it....just a quick snap.
