Framed Diver

Another from a trip to Chuuk. This is one of the few shots that I sorta planned. In general, you dive 3 different sites every day, so you don't exactly scout any site. I knew I wanted to get a picture of a diver (my brother, in this case) framed somehow.

1) is this hurt by the lack of bright colors? The image was shot without a strobe, and the corals in the shallow water didn't have much color to begin with.

2) how much does the fact that the diver is not in perfect focus hurt? Much of it is due to diffusion in the water, but some of it is due to not having the hyperfocal set right.
