Lady Of The Deep
Record Italian freediver Linda Paganelli, ascending in front of one of the caves in the Ras Mohammed National Park just south of Sharm el-Sheikh.

This cave when viewed from inside revealed the silhouette of a lady from the Victorian era. Look closely...she is wearing a wide dress, a hat and has one arm on her hip (the other holding a purse).

Ras Mohammad national park is considered to be one of the best dive locations in the world. It is situated at the southern most tip of the Sinai Peninsula, with the Gulf of Suez on the west and the Gulf of Aqaba to the east.

Absolutely stunning, love the light & shadow play, the framing and texture of the cave and those little figures at the surface. And the Lady, of course!
And to think that you've taken this shot while freediving yourself... quite mind-blowing.
Wonderful.
Jacques de Vos  Thanks Milla, really appreciate the kind words:)
