I was so lucky with this shot. I had a chance as the Manta came by and I think it paid off.

Very nice shot! Dreamy, slow, relaxing…….and I’m sure that water is warm…….takes me away from the snowstorm outside for a few minutes. Thanks for being so lucky!

It looks like the manta has a huge smile on his face! Enjoying his swimming companions, perhaps?

What a great shot, and I agree about Lady Luck being on your side, specially in the way one of the fish has shielded the harsh light of the sun.
