Wow — this is seriously impressive for a first attempt. The silhouette is so clean and well defined, and the detail is beautifully sharp.
How big is this seahorse? I have to admit, my own attempts at this kind of shot haven’t quite landed yet — maybe our Aussie horses are just a bit too… well-fed (I’ll blame the subject, not the photographer 😄).
Do you use this technique often on your dives? I’d really love to see you give it another go. Sharing older shots is great and always appreciated, but the idea of these challenges is to get you out experimenting again this month — underwater or even on land. Would be great to see what you come up with now.
