I have a soft underwater housing, which allows me to use my camera in shallow water. This shot of a Lion fish was taken at about 9m towards the end of the dive.
You lose color very quickly under water, so I had to correct them in CS 6 RAW.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.

I met my first Lion fish in the Gulf of Aqaba........lovely meeting, fantastic fish..........kept my distance..........
A nice image, pity the fish is moving away from you. Underwater also kills contrast, sharpness, and I think this could also benefit with a little more vibrant colour.
I have uploaded a mod to show what I mean,
Hope this is helpful,
regards
Willie
Thanks for your kind comments and votes.
Willie,
I think there is a lot of over processed images, I try to avoid doing this to my photos.
I also know underwater is very different to above especial if you don’t have the right set up with strobes, housing etc. ($8000 for my camera).
Saying that, I don’t mind it what you have done with your mod, so thanks I really appreciate your effort and I can see that I can go a little further without overdoing it.
Thanks again Norbert
Great Lion Fish Photo with coral reef in background
I saw my 1st lion fish in North Eastern Cuba while snorkelling the reefs
Great fish but kept my distance also
