ornate_wrasse 0 Posted December 30, 2007 This is not a technically perfect image, however, it brings back a lot of wonderful memories when diving in Jupiter, Florida We were very lucky to see many Goliath Groupers on this dive. It was taken with a D70S, the lens was a 10.5mm. The settings used were Manual, F/7.1 and 1/60s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandarinfish 0 Posted December 30, 2007 Really tough choice for me. I have some images from this year that I think are more beautiful. This one won't be entered in any contests. And Marli brought up Mary Island... I have images from last New Year's Eve at Mary Island that are very special to me - mostly because it is such an awe inspiring place, as Marli says. But New Year's Eve was last year. So I chose this one because I'm a critter lover, and this is one of the ultimate critters, at least in my view. A blue ring octopus, a critter I hadn't seen in almost five years. They were plentiful this fall in Lembeh. And so I shot this image which I hope captures just a little of the intense personality!

coloradodawn 0 Posted December 31, 2007 My fav for this year -- stomach of an anemone. Even with all the "big fish" in Palau, this unusual shot was my favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fforbes 7 Posted January 1, 2008 Some amazing images on this post! This is a great annual tradition! This image is from my first ( but hopefully, not last) trip to the Bunaken Marine Park in Indonesia, and I was blown away by the magnificent healthy hard corals.... plus I love sweetlips!

LyN 0 Posted January 16, 2008 After a hard internal contest with myself, this is the winner for 2007: Oly 5050 with UWL100+dome & Z240. I got a hard time after the lion to make it comfortable with me below him, but I finnally got a couple of good pictures as I envisioned them in my mind. And those were the finalists, made with the same rig: All taken in my trip to Tofo Beach, Mozambique, in March. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

divegypsy 23 Posted March 23, 2008 Hi gang, My favorite shot is actually two very different shots of a tiny (2-3 cm) spotfin lionfish that I got in Bali in September. Both shots on the same of the same individual. Both hot with with my F5 (gasp - film) using as old style 105 Micro-nikkor combined with 56mm of Kenko extension tubes which allow me to shoot up to about 1.75x.
