Yongala and Maggie Island

These are the pictures of my recent dive at the yongala and maggie island in Australia. Feel free to comment and criticize.

Great set of images, but the turtle shot is outstanding.......

i thought it didn't come out very well, glad that you liked it, i still think it's lacking a bit of color though.

Is that a guitar fish!?!?

Sweet!

I llike the turtle shot. It looks a little desaturated. If you shot this raw I would see if you could boost the saturation. If you do edit that picture please repost.

I think the turtle shot is very nice and it's also salvageable. You just need a good PS person to tweak it for you.

Is that a guitar fish!?!? 

Shovelnose Ray- Rhinobatos batillum in the Coral Sea I think (we get the Aptychotrema species here)

... oh and looking up the spelling they are AKA guitarfishes

Another vote for the turtle.

Here is the same turtle picture again, and i re-photoshoped again. I sort of like the faded color look to it.

Yes, that is a guitarfish, he was about 9 feet long and when he swam by within arms reach, you could see he had large bite marks all over his gill area. Possibly another larger shark.

I too like the giant guitarfish!

You think those scars are from a larger shark species or mating scars from another guitarfish?

I figure mating scars, but I'm not sure at all as I didn't see them up close. Or maybe another fish or cookie cutter shark??

Thanks for posting!! We have guitarfish out here but never that large!!
