I think this looks pretty good. No fringing. What lens, f-stop / shutter speed? Is this cropped or the full frame? I guess if I were to critique the whole image I might say that your strobe exposure could be cranked up a notch by power or f-stop, and possibly having the diver coming towards you.

I like the mood though.

I agree that the strobe power needed cranking up a tad. I am pretty happy with it though. The viz actually looks better than it was on the dive.

cheers, stew

Technically I think it is really good but it's kind of blah compositionally. Maybe like Loftus says, if the diver was facing you. Also, it looks like part of the photo is missing. Maybe as a horizontal it would flow more?

It's to late to have the diver swim toward you ;-) but you could crop the pic to make the coral horizon horizontal, I thing that would make it a pretty good pic.
