Your Best Shots of 2011

[MXGratefulDiver]

grateful GD i like ur gunnel and wolf eel, both expressive/dynamic

That little wolfie's rather expressive ... I think someone's been feeding her ...

This is probably my best from 2011 (back in April)... nothing compared to some of the stellar shots on here though.



I liked it so much I used it to illustrate this article: Scuba diving in the British Virgin Islands travel guide - Wikitravel

2011 was a great year for my wife and I underwater...first year the hobby "almost" paid for itself

. Lots of great memories. I put some here not because they were necessarily the best...but they are our favorites.
This thread has shown some fantastic images, and we'd like to thank smellzlikefish for starting it and for posting some great shots, NWgratefuldive: love the candy striped shrimp. Had one myself but mine's not worth posting seeing yours. But really, everyone's examples have been great...



Caught this Banded Jawfish cleaning out his hole





Like the pose of the Harlequin Grass Slug

​

I got lucky with the porkfish giving some feature to the blue water



My wife took this one in Isla Mujeres



We had just released dozens of Juvenile Greens, I thought his expression was priceless





Blue Heron Bridge shot...Seahorse was not moved, he was on an anchor chain just about eye level




This Goliath Grouper was very photogenic...



Doing a blue water drift in West Palm, we came across a Juvenile Look Down hanging out with a moon jelly...cool dive

Haven't taken the camera on many cold dives (yet), but here's a few...

Oh, asha, I love that third one -- that's how I think of the kelp forests, when I remember diving in them.

JDandvalerie, LOVE the seahorse/mask picture! That's the kind of unusual photo that just stands out from the rest.

What a GREAT idea for a thread!

JD-I think we've all had a "jawfish" morning.

 

[fishguy]

The first one is my favourite of the year...

 

[highdesert]

OK fishguy, let me find the correct expression about your first shot ... frickin' crazy!!!

They're cute! One of my favourite dives this year was with sea lions at the Coronado islands near San Diego.
