One more shot with school of eagle rays from rough waters of Wolf Island, this time with diver model in the background. From this shot you can see bad light and low contrast conditions in this place. Still using post-processing techniques and toning in modern software like Adobe Lightroom it is possible to get satisfactory results.
This photo was taken on November 4, 2008 in Galapagos, EC, using a Nikon D300.

I will not discuss contrast and light, but this is for sure a scenery that every sea lover would like to see.
