It's nice to see that the 5D is performing well underwater. Great colours and the shaprness and details is excellent.

Do you take your photos in raw or jpeg?

Hi Kris,
excellent capture.
Amazing to see the rows of red eyes giving a totally different impression on the livelyness of this kind of animal. The iridescent colours are phantastic.
A look into a totally different world, an outstanding and unusual shot among submarine photography.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

I don't know much about these things under water. All I can say is that this image attracted me for its colourful composition.
It is beautiful, whatever it is.
