You have done a remarkable job of what must be a very difficult shot. This is the best way to catch fish in my view.
Well done
Karen

Hello Peter, wonderful POV for this difficult shot. Excellent angle you got too, getting the reflection off the sides of the barracudas swimming past, at I imagine a very fast pace! Thanks for sharing!

Another great picture, Peter! This barracudas are perfect! I can´t see any over exposed and it happens with this kind of fishes.Very well balanced lights!! But, it´s far far better to see it underwater, don´t agree? Well, just like you, I saw them in Egypt and Fiji, diving from Sharm El Sheikh. I have it in slides, but someday I would like to scan it to post here. You have amazing u/w photography! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!

This makes me drool.
I absolutely love underwater life and diving amid them..
This picture really catches that peaceful feeling. Even though it would be in the middle of a dangerous barracuda pack.
