This is one of my favorate shots... I always look for things like this when I see nice soft corals, because it has so many diferant posibilities. The soft corals are effected by the slightest curents, and with in a secound the composition completly changes. The only thing that I can compare it to is a Fractle. Endless posibilities, and no end to the beauty. you have to love the simple things in life. Comments Welcome -Gabe-

A fine halo effect! Your light or natural? Either way it is still "cool". I assume you are inches in distance.

Yes I was, it is all natural light, it's hard to do otherwise underwater. I used a 17MM Nikon lenze form about 6 inches away. -Gabe-

I was surfing through the archive of the Forum, and saw this work of yours. Sorry to miss this at the time you've post. Please accept my late congratulations for this image :). Though I do not find much time and chance for diving (and not licensed for SCUBA), I adore underwater, and underwater photography... This image is just so very beautiful...
