Camera: D70s
Settings: 105mm with dual YS120 strobe @ f22, 1/100 sec

Description: It was the last dive of my trip and I was cruising the white sand, hunting for a subject to photograph. I saw this octopus stalking a wrasse and inched slowly toward it. We were both hunting, but the wrasse got away and I guess the octopus got angry and went for my camera instead. |
