Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Recently did a dive trip to the Similan Islands in Thailand and saw my first manta ray. Some pics (and one vid) below
Favourite from the trip was actually swiming with a couple of very friendly turtles that came to the boat at Donald Duck Bay
#1 Turtle
Very lucky to get to see my first manta ever - had just completed my safety stop and was about to surface when the manta decided to do a close range fly by
#2 Manta ray
Video of the manta fly by here...

Another favourite was catching the tomatoe anenome fish

Some other record shots from the trip
#4 Boxfish
#5 Boxfish

Thanks all, glad you like them. Yeah, thinking of printing that turtle shot big and putting it up on my wall.
Hehe... was thinking when I wrote the title whether Simon would wonder why I had him in the thread title
