I entered one photo from my recent underwater adventures in Cozumel in the February contest. Here are a couple more:

Siesta


Blue Tang


Crab


Cowfish


Flounder


Food and Shelter


Last Night in Paradise


For a larger group of photos, here is a slide show (which I'll add to as I get more cleaned up):

1. Wow

I really like the crab, the flounder and that last shot! Amazing. I haven't been to Cozumel since '87 or '88. I need to get back.

2. Thanks!

I had to keep chasing the crab around the post - he didn't want to pose for me. I have about 50 shots of a piece of a crab and blown out highlights of the edge of the post he was hiding behind.

As to the flounder - he was posing very nicely, but since I don't wear my reading glasses underwater it was really hard to tell when I had him in the viewfinder. Lots of partial founder pictures too! I'd never seen a flounder before - now that I know what I am looking for I began to see them all over the place, from half dollar size to platter sized.

The last shot - the folks leaving the dock as I showed up with my camera tried to tell me there was no sunset, so I had to prove them wrong. Quite a few nice concrete posts that worked very nicely as makeshift tripods once it got darker and the colors a bit more intense than the early sunset.

3. It was worth all those partial crab and flounder shots

Those two are wonderful.

4. Thanks!

One of the major advantages of digital - I can take lots and lots of shots and not have to worry about racking up the processing charges!
