A Reef Reflected in a Bubble (courtesy of Eric Cheng)...

Eric has posted just an amazing photo on his daily blog, and I thought I’d share it here.

I think it’s just an amazing shot.Â Having taken approximately 30,000 shots myself now, I can safely say that inevitably any photos that Eric takes...

That’s an amazing shot of a very cool effect. :) And Dave, I was just thinking the same thing. Actually, when I first saw the picture, I thought the reflection was of an autumn forest scene. :)

Additionally, what’s particularly interesting about the reflection is if you cropped it so the coral was gone and colored the top part of the bubble sky blue, it would look like a crazy fish-eye shot of an east coast autum scene w/snow on the ground. Trees w/changing leaves, two tall pines, etc. Yes, I have a fertile imagination.

Nice shot. I like how you positioned yourself so your reflection is in the dark top part of the bubble, which looks shaded by the coral's overhang. Very strategic :) (I think I can just barely see you in the top part of the bubble, but without a strobe, you'd be impossible to see.)

How does Loloata diving compare to the sites we visited last year on the Febrina? Are you using your bberry to upload?

Wow Eric, that photo is just beautiful art, straight up. So very impressive. :)
