Excellent under the sea photography. Nice clear images.

Bonsoir Alain!

Certainement un monde fascinant à observer et capter avec une bonne caméra. Mes expériences ont été très limitées avec de simples caméras jetables. Mais quel monde fascinant à explorer.

Je t'envie d'avoir vécu de si belles expérience; 1- Professeur de plongée 2- Dans un Club Med (^_^).

Excellentes images pour le thème ! Très jolie duo d'image et présentation. De plus le choix de ton modèle rend le montage encore plus agréable.
Amicalement,
Robert

Bonjour Alain.
Deux images intéressantes composées dans une présentation originale.
Le passage de l’argentique au numérique est resté de très bonne qualité.
Bonne journée.

Salut Alain
C'est ce qui s'appelle faire "prendre de la bouteille" aux gens quand ils sont jeunes...et "étancher"... sa soif d'images sous-marines.
Belles images, belles couleurs , belle clarté... le grand bleu, quoi !

Hi Alain,

This is a great addition to the theme - really well shot photos with excellent exposure and nice composition. Interesting that a +2 close-up lens would be needed to focus, too.

Have a great Sunday!
Reed

Eh bien , tu as un parcours photographique très complet ayant touché à la photo sou-marine ce qui m'impressionne ! la composition des deux prises et le sujet sont inhabituels pour moi mais excellents pour le thème, merci de partager ,

hi Alain

I think this is a superb collage of diving photos which I seldom see on TL. It looks good with clarity and sharpness despite being underwater. I can see it is hard to move freely in water in time to catch your composition as the feet is cropped.

I like your presentation, well done and very good work.

tfs, bill
