A nudibranch standing at attention! I think it is waiting for the current to pick it up so it can drift away somewhere farther than its foot can carry it.
A manta coming over the crest at a cleaning station on Kume.
It's not in the shot, but there were a mating pair of octopuses that crept up to the top and just went out of view. It would have been great to have them all in the same shot!
A stonefish in magnificent purple and orange... Not blending in at all. You do you.
The dreamlike movement of water.
At Akame Forty-Eight Falls, Mie Prefecture, from a couple of months ago. We had hoped to get a glimpse of some giant salamanders but no luck.
