A California sea lion pup just looking extra cute! La Paz, Mexico

Diver and Goliath: I find divers to be more challenging to photograph well than the fish! This photo needed work with a crop, extensive backscatter removal and getting rid of another photographers camera that intruded into the frame. I only thought it worth the work because of the eye contact between my wife Ann and the Goliath Grouper.

Humpback on the reef! Mo’orea, French Polynesia

Clownfish in Anemone, Raja Ampat, Indonesia

A fairy basslet posing for the camera in Grand Cayman.

A giant manta ray and diver in La Paz, Mexico.

Ray in Grass: A shallow depth of field allowed me to focus on the eyes through a small gap in the seagrass. Cozumel 2017

A pack of grey reef shark hunting at night. Fakarava, French Polynesia

Blenny Love: Close focus wide angle. Hairy Blenny Courting Behavior. The male displays the bright orange-red head and distinct body banding. Blue Heron Bridge May 2017.

Smooth Trunkfish: Juvenile. Cozumel 2017.

Angel in Motion: The trick with capturing motion-blur is balancing a slow shutter speed with just enough ambient light to expose the movement. The flash freezes the image at the end when the shutter closes (rear curtain sync). Cozumel 2017

Scorpion on Wreck: It took a couple of passes in the stiff current to set this one up but after a few tries the humans got it right. The Scorpion Fish understood perfectly where she was supposed to be.
