Mike, I like colors in this picture.

Great saturation and contrast too.

Only now I'm learning how to swim (I'm 36 years old). So, maybe, in the future, I will have the chance to take shots like this.

Hi Mike,
Beautiful colors. I used to do watercolors and reefs were my favorite subject. Good POV.

P.S., I grew up surfing and I find it hard to believe that anyone cannot swim. Everybody can swim, it is inherent, but some just need to realize their ability :)

Hi Mike. I like these underwater shots. This is clear with good colours. This is similar to the Great Barrier Reef we have off Queensland. It is amazing to see fish with such bright colours. TFS. Murray.
