Dear Underwater Photographers,

I am currently writing the first book about manta rays, especially for divers and underwater enthusiasts. Are you as fascinated as I am by these elegant, harmless marine creatures? Have you taken any outstanding, impressive or special pictures of manta rays?

Then I would love to publish your pictures in my book!

Your interest should lie in having your favourite shot and your name printed in a professional environment as I cannot offer you any money as remuneration.

That sounds interesting to you? Then contact me:
berrybeersen"at"yahoo"dot"com

I am looking for the following contents in the pictures:
One or more individual mantas in one shot, whatever you find special or just beautiful.
Photos of mantas with shark bites and also of mantas with shark bite marks that have grown back.
A manta that swims straight in a direct line towards the camera? Iwant to show they way mantas move their wings while swimming (photo, screenshot taken from movie, or movie itself).
Feeding manta(s) .
Close up of mouth and inside mouth.
Close up of eyes.
Close up of tail and end of tail (open wound, red raw).
Close up of base of the tail (a small pit at the base of their tail where the spine used to be).
Close up of pelvic fins (underside, at base of tail, the two flaps).
Close up of skin.
Close up of genitals, male and/or female.
Close up of cephalic lobes (to both sides of the mouth), opened up and furled up.
Close up of mating scars.
Pictures of pushing stomach out.
Chasing and mating (pictures and movies)
Jumping manta(s).
Pregnant manta(s).
Different manta species.

I would be happy to receive a preview of your photos in screensize and "email quality". However, please only send pictures which you can also provide in print quality (300dpi with a minimum size of 5cmx5cm).

Thanks a million in advance to all enthusiastic underwater photographers for your support!
