Wonderful these three shots. Must have been great swimming amongst them.:t:

It was fun, and humbling in a way.

I always feel like a clumsy oaf in the presence of marine creatures. Come to think of it - I am a clumsy oaf in the water! Any merit in the pictures is down to luck and subject matter..

Thanks for the comments!
