Pics from Curacao trip last week

great photos. i also love the flounder and the orange anemone things right after that. and the orange filefish. the schooling fish were really cool, although maybe the strobes were a bit hot for them.

I love the schooling shots ! what site was that ? it looked like in one of the photos that there was some over hang also ..very nice photos!

Thank you ! That site was a "cavern" that we entered prior to heading to sponge forest. It was a really cool spot. It was not an overhead since you could surface and there was maybe 6' of air between the water surface and the ceiling.

Thanks ! While looking at the photos after the dive I did regret not bracketing the strobes for those shots-- things happen so quickly when fish are involved

Absolutely loved your photos. I especially liked the shrimp in the anemone #2, copper sweepers #1, and royal gramma #2. The flounder was pretty cool too. I am thinking about going to Curacao, so your pics were especially interesting to me. Also, I really liked the fact that you posted these photos in a large size. Good photos are just so much more impressive when you can view them in detail.

Was the sea horse on the Superior Producer?

Very nice group, I agree with AUT. if at all possible, shoot up or more head on, but for the most part, your composition is good (heck you're getting the whole fish on fish shots...still trying to master that), light positioning is very nice, maybe a little hot on a couple shots and you're getting very good color...just keep shooting.

Thanks ! Seahorses were all from a dive site called Harry's Hole. These were the first sea horses I have seen while diving, so they were especially exciting.

Thanks everyone for the tips and comments. I'll try to put them to good use.
