Gaze into their Eyes

A night dive at Don Foster's Dive Reef followed by two day dives at the Turtle Farm Reef. Conditions could have not been any better. The Cayman Islands we know...calm seas, visibility forever, fish everywhere, non stop action. Great week end of diving.
Always searching to improve photographic skills, I decided to concentrate in getting the eyes expressions of the fish we came across. Some let us get close to them, some were very skidish.
Even after five hours of solid diving, I came out with very few pictures and only a handful that I thought actually captured what we saw. In any case, spending time observing these creatures I am thankful for those that allowed me to inch forward slowly and perceive their eye movements, worried expression and curiosity.
Spending time in nature with creatures in their own environment gives me a chance to be in harmony with all creatures. Quietly observing answer some of my questions however, I come up more puzzled than before with new behaviors, rare creatures that I did not see before.
I can not wait to the next opportunity to get back in the ocean and learn more!!!






Until next dive!
