Cool Pix, Bobby! As always, your work is fantastic!
Thancks Francine. However, as you can see, I had to do some PS post processing to make them worth sharing. Ambient light, glass bottoms, air stones, water spots and uncooperative posing made for some very poor results. The extra ps work is not exactly what we want to promote in aquatic photography.
I'm not a big fan of total black backgrounds lately. I prefer bluring and smudging then darkening the bg instead. Makes for unnatural appearance, but when you are woking with just glass anyway, what the heck.
Btw, I posted some of these on APF and received some very nice comments from Jay in regards to you. Enjoyed meeting you Saturday, and hope to see everyone on the 12th.
