I do like this picture, both the picture and the fact that I am a diver too make me agree with the freedom of diving.
However I believe it would have been better to "zoom out" a little, to give more room to the diver (especially in front of him) and increase the feeling of freedom.
The sun rays are wonderful.

Hi Tomasz!
What a great capture! The diver looks like he levitate in blue space! I like the waves you can see at the surface, and the ray of light pushing trough the water.
Excellent!
Best wishes!

Tomasz, thanks for sharing. I agree with Carmody to an extent, I think positioning of the diver could be improved in the frame, but nevertheless it has a lot of impact so two points from me.

Hi Tomasz,
fantastic underwater shot. It is as if I could feel the water. I wish I was this guy. Amazing blue colours.

Fajne zdjecie. Mysle, ze dobrym pomyslem byloby podplyniecie pod niego tak, aby slonce bylo dokladnie za nim.
Jesli masz jeszcze jakies podwodne zdjecia z Sharm to dawaj hurtowo, nie ma tu wielu takich klimatow :(
Na Ras Ghozlani (chyba to samo co Marsa Ghalsani) podobno sa jedne z najpiekniejszych koralowcow - site zaliczany do pierwszej swiatowej dziesiatki(?). Jestem poczatkujacy, wiec nie mam porownania. Wiekszosc "jedzie" jednak na slawna Yolande i Shark Reef (niezle prady...), a na Gholzani jest raczej pusto.

Pozdrawiam
