They are great pictures, but I must ask just how big are the objects you are shooting as it is hard to tell??
GPO with eggs

Hmmm... well.... the GPO on eggs was quite large... maybe a 60-80 pounder?Peter_C:
The jellyfish was approximately softball sized.
The Cabezon was about... I dunno... about a foot long... Pug? that about close for the cabby size?
2 foot cabby

Wow Snowbear those are all great shots!!
I'm most impressed, your octopus variants seem to be a tad more impressive than the local variety
.
This is my favorite octo shot, although this looks like it was a night dive?
The exposure and lighting are all spot on and the form/shape of the tentacles seem to draw me to its eye.
Looks a bit sinister in fact.
Why not post this in the u/w photography forum i'm sure everyone would love to see these shots.
Btw what are you shooting with?

Thanks jamdiver
No, it was a day dive, though the water was a bit murky (~ 20' viz). This octo's 'den' was under a steel plate. I just stuck my hand in a hole in the plate and snapped the pictures. I was surprised at how many ended up in focus :11:
