[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
This picture was taken during a dive in the Tanay mountain lake (1400 m). The green color is natural and probably due to the green fluo vegetation on the ground.

It's very hard to do picture in cold water because of the gloves. Imagine taking pictures with boxing gloves and a helm.

I was a bit unsure from the thumbnail, but what a pleasent surpise! That really is a super photo, I really like it. I'd love that on my wall.

Well done and thank you.

Félicitations pour cette photo... La photo soumarine, je n'ai pas encore essayé! Les détails de ces poissons sont assez bien visibles et bien cadrés. Bravo!

Now this is the sort of shot I was hoping we would get on TN, not perfect but good considering the conditions. probably so green because nitrate run off feeding the algae,.
A few notes about the fish would be nice to see added to the picture.

Yep, nice scene, I like the way the right hand side fish comes into the image while the center one is looking at you.

I agree there should be a green overall cast but it's IMHO a bit too "hazy", did you use any strobe at all? that would have been quite helpful here...

Lake diving in Switzerland, brrrr... I can't dive if the water is cooler than 25 degrees... ;)

Une image originale et bien réalisée ! je trouve peut être que l'ensemble des poissons est trop centrée sur le plan vertical, mais je pense qu'il est difficile de réaliser une meilleure composition dans ces conditions difficiles !

Two reasons this is impressive (i) it is a great picture, I love the real sense of depth and the cartoon like composition/lighting (ii) diving at that altitude is a real specialist art, I hadn't realised that people actually dive in the Swiss lakes.

C'est magnifique, j'espere pour voir en plus.

Une photo superbe, mon sang de pêcheur n'a fait qu'un tour!
Couleurs agréables et compo bien réalisée au vu des circonstances.
Merci.

Chantal, I know what you mean when you said about how difficult it is to take underwater pictures. The green colour is due to light absortion by the water, also. Normally one uses a coloured filter to compensate this effect. Congratulations.
