Sulewesi photos

A few pictures from the recent trip to Sulewesi (Buniken island, Manado and Lembeh) if I can attach them

Very cool. Love the crab and mandarin fish. Thanks for sharing!

I'd like to add my thanks too. The Mandarin image is my favorite. Are those eggs I see?

Well done!

Steve

Thanks and yes they are eggs. Kind of what makes the shot, in my opinion.

All of the shots are wonderful, but how cool that you got the eggs. Our timing wasn't good for the mandarin mating. Too close to the full moon.

We stayed at Kima Bajo & KBR, Both places great.

Kima Bajo more upscale., lots of reefs, clear visability.

KBR more spartan, great dive guides( better than Kima Bajo even though they all work for eco divers), poor visability, muck and lots of critters. Not as many as I thought we would see, others said the critter count was down this year.

I managed to get pictures of most on my list. Will have to go back for Blue ring photos.

Outstanding images! Thanks for posting these. That's a very cool Mandarin shot!

We stayed at Lembeh Resort last month and I was blown away by the diving there.

One question: where is Kingsville in MD? I grew up in Maryland (and graduated from the Univ of MD) but never heard of Kingsville

I hope you're able to go back soon and get photos of the Blue Ring.

Lools like it was a good trip - and I really enjoyed that mandarin photo with the eggs!

That's an understatement! Great shot.

All of your pictures are great with razor sharp focus and dof. That Mandarin photo, however, is absolutely amazing. I sat there watching these guys on two dives last week for 30 minutes trying to get the release of eggs with zero luck. The release and dive back down happens so fast that my reflexes were too slow to capture anything other than a tail headed back into the reef.

Great work!

i dont have a favourite. i love them all. well done and thanks for sharing with us.

all the best, stew

Really nice Pics. It seems like a nice trip.

thanks for all the nice comments, Kingsville is northeast of Baltimore in Harford county.

Wow! I didn't even see the eggs the first time I viewed the mandarin fish image. Great photo!!
