    Certainly has that underwater effect happening. Reminds me of Fantasia, with all the seahorses dancing in time to music.

    FlyBoy, I love these happy scenes of yours. There’s a special serenity in this and a soft flow with the sea horses winding their way into the picture. The current is almost tangeable…..the seaweed succumbing to its rhythms.
