I photographed this blanket octopus 5 miles offshore from Hawaii mere minutes

before midnight. The encounter was over in about a minute so I had little time to act.

This is the result. I would love to hear your thoughts.

A superb shot under less than ideal conditions.  I note you used 1/160s, f/10.0 and ISO200 for a night shot with no flash.  What was your light source?  ...Mike

Hi MLM-

I used two Ikelite substrobes to light the subject here.  External strobes apparently don't show up in the metadata.
