 Divers on a decompression stop.
Some basic levels adjustment, and a couple of back scatter spots removed.
Underwater photography is a passion for me, and since I am a dive instructor, most of my time off is underwater too! Would love to see more underwater stuff on DP....!

Hi,
Thanks for all the votes. I know not the best place, but I am new to DPC and I'm very happy to get so many votes! Taking pictures underwater faces lots of different challenges and if anyone is interested in setting themselves up underwater and wants a little info or help, just send me a message.

Thanks Again

Favorite so far! I love the mysery in the depth! I also like how you made a beautiful image from my least favorite part of diving!! I'll think of this shot next time I'm hanging on the line!

i like the underwater idea, but the sun is so blown out, it's hard to know it's really the sun & not a large spotlight

Your subject seems too centered, which works in some images but leaves too much space in this one. Nice luminosity in the upper half.

Really a kind of picture rarely saw here at DPC. I like so much. Expect a lot of post challenge comments over equipment and setup.

Deserves 7 for the shooting environment. Do not forget to state the depth in the (Location) field.
