On silent Wings
While I'm snorkeling this huge manta ray (Manta hamiltoni) approached me in a very elegant and curious way.

Honestly, I think this may be most impressive--to me (of course)-- photo I have seen on 1x. It is just magical. No trickery or symbolism, just nature in its finest ellegence. OK, enough superlatives. I really like it.

You used 5D Mark I?
thanks.
Norbert Probst  There is no 5D Mark I!
Norbert Probst  I don't understand why you are asking. All technical data about photo and equipment is readable under the photo.
Florian Raducanu  No matter
Very nice..!

Fantastic! And in that visibility! Looking forward to see more of your work
Norbert Probst  Thank you Lars. The visibility was very poor. It was a lot of work to delete all the particles.
