Frogman or Caveman, call it what you will.

Any thoughts and comments welcome.

My favorite of the week. Very nice. Althought the focal point is almosr centre, the eye trails off to the second focus of the shoal in the distance.

the diver reminds me of a frog

...and so? Divers are also referred to as "frogmen". May be this photo shows why. Does that make it a 4 ?

Johannes,

As a long-time scuba diver, I can appreciate the additional difficulties you face when photographing in the watery realm.

I'm very impressed with your work. It's getting close to that of Bates Littlehales from NG magazine, and that's saying a lot!

Eagerly looking forward to more!

Wow, thanks for the compliment. I try my best, even though the water is wet, and sometimes cold.

THIS SIMPLIFIES THE THOUGTH OF WHAT A 'FROGMAN' IS...DEFENITLY DOSNT DESERVE A 4...BUT SOME P.N JUNKIES ARE WORTHLESS AND SENSLESS....I CONGTARULATE NOT ONLY THIS SHOT BUT ALL YOUR UNDERWATERS.. THEY ARE FENOMEL...BEST REGADS..AND THANX FOR YOUR COMMENTS RICKY

I love everything about this shot, except, perhaps, the somewhat ungraceful pose of the diver. Great work.

Johannes I am constantly amazed at the volume and quality of the images that you produce. I enjoy them very much. I have no criticism - thanks for sharing.

 

Actually, I like the "frogman" pun, which makes the picture even more interesting...

 

Apart from the witty title, I find the composition quite inspiring, both with the natural framing of the diver with the rocks and two small details, his bubbles, which seem in the right place of the pictures, and the fish in the top right corner... which seem to go away once this intruder is coming down in their world.

 

Cheers,

It's a terrific photo. Can't imagine how anyone could rate it as average.!
