Hanifaru Bay, new moon time In July. During a stunning sunset on the 50 shades of blue bay, a few graceful manta birostris are feeding on copepods, which gather during high tides.

I began underwater photo 3 years ago after many years doing landscapes and wildlife photo. I specially love taking pictures of marine mammals. I love split shots too. I'm now doing video so Cecile has taken the camera.
