Thanks Mary anne, you're too kind :).
My u/w shots are on a bit of break now, don't get to dive too often and I really need to add a strobe to my u/w setup, it's suffering because of it..

I eventually want to get into wide, atmospheric reef type shots..

Very nice Jammy! I really like all the elements in this one. Very appealing composition, focal points, and most importantly for the topic, lighting! Congratulations!

Jammy, I looked through some of your Flickr galleries. Beautiful, beautiful work there. Your underwater photos are especially impressive. Maybe awesome is a better term.

When the sun is high in the sky it is hard to have it directly behing the thing you are trying to shoot but with the light here and the shadow, it says "backlit" to me. Nice macro too! CJ
