Dark Crayfish

This makes an interesting almost abstract composition. I like the bubbles and light and the diagonal view. It has a lot of implied energy/motion Is this a B&W conversion and/or did you do other things to it?

Hy Cythia:     I added clarity to this one; usually all the scatter in an underwater photo is the kiss of death and adding clarity is bad.   I liked the effect so I added a black and white preset and some vignette.  

Thank you for the comment!

Hi Kevin

Yes- I agree- clarity makes the bubbles an important and interesting part of the picture. Thanks for your explanation.

Alien Spaceship. Like the movement and the trees too.

Snell's window! If you were just a little more pointed up you would have the crayfish against the sky. Of course that might require more cooperation from the crayfish.
I like the bubbles as they add the sense that this is in a stream with water flow.

Intriguing shot Kevin -- nice work on the processing.

You have given this a quite sinister feel with the stark silhouette and the overall darkness! Great perspective with being able to see the trees above water too.

Reminds me of the movie where it is raining sharks!

Very cool. I would love to see it in colour too.
