Hi,
Brilliant pictures.
How did you create that shadow effect behind your pictures, it makes your pictures look even more brilliant then they already are.

Thanks Nick. It's an old software from "Pic2Mail" that I got free off the Internet years ago. Shrinks the image's pixal load and adds the shadow. Now that I use a 7 megapixel camera, it really helps speed things along. Fun.

Chris - I can't see properly from the photo but are you sure that sea snake is actually a snake and not one of these snake eels? The patterning doesn't look quite like what I remember for kraits....

(Apologies for the blogwhoring links - 'twas just easier to find my own photos online than anyone elses).

Thanks. After seeing kraits in Bali (big) I had my doubts - but some Western divers were calling these "Banded Sea Snake" -- "Different from Kraits". I'm sure now they were the snake eels. They burrowed in the sand just like the photo in your attachment. chris

Looks like the snake eel. Look at the shape of the black patches. They have that spike.
