Thanks all!
I almost didn't bother with this one, since the default RAW settings made all the suckers and underside of the arms look washed out. It was the pose that kept bringing me back to it, and after adjustments in ACR/Photoshop, I'm now happy I spent the time

This is a classic! And nice to hear it was dancing of its own volition, too. Like the way you can see the eye, too

Agree with FujiBob, the best octopus shot I can remember seeing!

bowled over by this magnificent shot. Must have been a shock to find it in mid-water. The contrast against the black background gives it an eerie and yet striking appearance.
I dream of getting shots like this and you have many great photos in your sets.
keep snapping and show the world the submarine environment in all its glory

Octopus on black. If it is black velvet, I can buy one in Juarez, Mexico when I go to El Paso in September. Just kidding. It is a great shot.
