DESCRIPTION
The image was taken in 2018 in Cuba while snorkeling with the Amercian saltwater crocodiles. With the right angle and lightning the crocodile gets nearly completely mirrored on the water surface from below the surface. The challenging part was to get a flat surface in the ocean, which was working out. The only waves seen are produced by the swimming movement of the crocodile itself.
One Ikelite DS-161 strobe was used in combination with the Ikelite housing for the Canon EOS 7D.
AUTHOR
During my diving course in 1999 I saw my first reef-shark. A certain fear mixed up with fascination for this elegant creature. Following the way of shark diving, a passion for beauty of animals and nature was born. In 2007 I started underwater photography while diving Great White Sharks. Over the years the subjects became broader, but the fascination for sharks never vanished.
