Nice textures, and a very open scallop.

Yes ... I like it a lot.

Lighting, detail, composition ... you captured it beautifully.

Very nice shot. I usually can't get that close to scallops without them closing up. Well done!!!!

Yeah, it's amazing how they sense vibrations. Tube worms are very similar. Some divers just seem to have the knack and others just don't.

Thank you for noticing my OBVIOUS display of admiration and respect for my good friend. I'm sure he missed it entirely.

he's probably in a catatonic state of shock and unable to get up off the floor to answer your post.

I don't think it's a catatonic state of shock that's made him unable to get up off the floor.......... :partyman:

Besides, I was just commenting on the very Artistic nature of his photo. No response necessary.

Ahem.... apparently some explanation and a little background are necessary. When Pez got back from the Phillipines, he had taken a ton of picutres. Most were touristy, but every once in a while he'd get "artsy". You know, pictures of sunsets and flowers on the beach and girly crap like that. "Artsy" became code for femenine, girly, un-manly crap that was done in a moment of weakness.

So, when Pez says it is "Artistic", he is NOT being nice to me.

Okay, Mr. conspiracy theorist, explain this comment, which I believe was the first comment to your post. :dontknow:

And there is nothing wrong with your artistic ability. You should embrace it. Look around. People love it. And I applaud your talent. =D>

Lets back up a second and talk more about PEZ's Philippines trip. Before he left he asked me if there is anything I'd like him to bring back for me (I lived in the PI and part of me is still there). I only asked for one thing: "Bring back lots of pictures". And I haven't seen squat! What's up with that? :dontknow:.

In all seriousness both of you have been taking notably better pictures over the last few months. Keep posting. =D>
