As this posting affirms, I have not grown out of my fascination with tiny denizens of the sea. However, there have been some changes. I have been doing a lot of night diving lately, and that means a shifting of subject matter. Some of the crabs in this album are no larger than ¼ of an inch. That means I do my best to focus, check the exposure after taking the picture, and often do not find out what I have captured until loading the image onto the topside computer. But I am having fun. Hope some of you enjoy seeing these creatures too.

Those creatures are truly art in themselves. Thank you for sharing.
Eye of an eagle…patience of a saint
I guess Barbie has no reason to be jealous of your evening foreys into the deep. Amazing photos!
LOVE your photos!!! Check the ident of the squid photo labeled Caribbean Shrimp.
Thanks Mike for the compliment and the “heads up”. I’ve fixed the label.
