Scorpion, take 2

In an older post I showed some pics on my first UW try with the D70.

Included was a shot of a scorpion that was not completely in focus because I was missing the diopter and had to focus manually.

Here's take 2, and if you look closely, you can see me reflected in the eye

this was take 1...

There's definately improvement here. It looks like you could use a PS tweak. The pic is a little washed out, probably because of that white sand negative space. It's also probable that you need to play with strobe angle to place less emphasis on the sand...and I know, sometimes that's impossible to do Here is your pic with a little PS tweak. Took me 2 minutes. I have my crappy laptop with me on the road so the colors may look like sh_P if you know what I mean.

Great improvement Pieter. The isolation of the fish provides much greater impact. If you get the chance to shoot again try getting him/her to about a 30 degree angle instead of sideways, again this will increase the impact of your photo

I guess I'll just have to try again..

I knew buying a housing for the D70 was a good investment, now I have even more reasons to have to go on hollidays. B)
