I recently got back from a trip to Bonaire where I tried to experiment a little (creatively) from the my usual critter-oriented focus. As it turns out, freeing the mind isn't as easy as it might sound! Anyway, I finally realized that wire coral is more interesting than I thought - especially at night, I got a tarpon image that looks like I found an angle to avoid the "flashed tin-foil" look, a standard version of the classic Hilma Hooker bow, an image of my lovely bride and her schoal of fishes and a people on dock looking at fish under it image that I had in my mind's eye from the moment we decided to go back to Bonaire. Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

Great shots, I really like the first two. Never saw a Tarpon up-close like that.
One of my favourite places.
Nice captures

Love the tarpon shot....
Thanks for the comments Luiz. I'm very happy with the tarpon image - I never thought I would be able to get that close (shot with a 15 FE on a 30D).
Thanks Todd. Bonaire has fast become one of my favourite places too.
Thanks pdemaagt. One of goals for the trip was to get a relatively decent image of a tarpon. I vaguely remember a thread on WP about shooting tarpon, so I have to thank all the photographers in that thread that helped!
