I am captivated by dramatic scenes of mountains, lakes, trees in autumn and all the other things nature presents to us on the lands we live on.
Perhaps I am more fascinated by the scenes that are on or just below the liquid surface--the creatures and formations that are built in the ocean waters below.
During this particular exploration of the Southern Caribbean, I couldn't resist the mesmerizing scenes as I ventured off the various boats.
Developing imagery that splits above and below the waterline is mighty challenging and perhaps that is why I am drawn to it so much.
So grab your snorkel gear and swimsuits as I take you to the islands of the Southern Caribbean.
A burst of sunlight shines brightly on a school of fish while the famous Petit Piton looms on the surface in St. Lucia.
After striking out time after time, we finally found a turtle at Brewer's Bay in St. Thomas.
Just outside the catamaran, a school of fish bask in the sun in the Virgin Islands.
A splendid array of tropical fish make their way through the rockpiles near Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands. I especially enjoy the heart-shaped cloud.
We stopped in Antigua to check out the ocean life and we were not disappointed.
I had to composite this scene from a couple of different pictures and locations to make my dramatic vision come to life.
As I swam toward the catamaran, I wanted to capture the swishing waves and fish below.
This is another scene from St. Lucia and the rock reminds me of someone blowing a kiss to the beautiful Petit Peton.
But wait there's more...
