West Indian Manatees, Crystal River, FL

We were blessed with some high clouds that diffused the sunlight and gave us some even smoother light underwater.

I prefer to shoot in shallow, clear water when there are overcast condiditons so I don't get the dappled light from bright sunlight being defracted through the water.

Dan,

Very cool. I like the one going for air and the other just sitting on the bottom.

Well, whatever you did to get this image was the right thing. It's fascinating; I really like the angle and the two of them doing their manatee thing.

Another cool shot Dan. It really shows the shape well and the breathing behaviour too.

Nice shot, Dan, with both animals looking at you and a good composition.

Very different perspective but works by me. Like the different behaviors of the two and the little bumps for the eyes on the one on the bottom. Might rotate clockwise just a bit.
