It is all about waiting

2009.12.02

...waiting for the the right moment, when all components of the scenery converged into a harmonic unity. sometimes we must let go of the ideal picture we had in mind, so as to accept the new opportunity that presents itself.
(big big thanks for my wonderful divebuddy and model too, for his endless patience :-)

Fantastic capture !!!
(to my favs)

Gorgeous image.. mind those spines now! Probably best not to tell us how long you kept the guy floating around while you framed this :-)

Wonderful perspective, all your underwater photos are magical!

Your underwater pictures are always so beautuful, but this one is special!
It's the same thing with life, it's better not having great ideas and plans, but take the chance of each opportunity and make the best of it.

I just love your underwater shots. I know snorkling don't even come close but I think that is what i am going to do this holiday

Great shot

Perfection....

caroleagle · 2009-12-02: 07:38

this makes me want to be your model... though i fear i wouldn't be as perfect and definitely not as patient! ;-)

what i am really, really amazed about in this picture is the absolute clarity of the water. are you sure this hasn't been shot in a hollywood studio basement with a flood light behind some stained glass window? ;-)
