Dinner!

Dinner!

Green Moray
I have a guest for you all can I introduce M…
The eye looks weird because the moray lived in very shallow bright conditions and was blind. I came across it in an underwater photo competition and was puzzled why my fellow competitors seemed to have missed it. If I had paid proper attention at the dive briefing I would have known that this moray kept attacking divers and was best avoided. It tried to bite me three times. The first two times I gave it a warning smack with my camera, the third time a hard smack….and fled! Everyone thought I had been brave and I won one of the main prizes, a holiday, for this “bravery”. Ever since then I’ve listened more carefully to briefings! Malcolm ( www.malcolmnobbs.com )

    Always best to listen to instructions. But in the off chance you live through the ordeal, you get a shot like this. A shot like this… safety… a shot like this… safety… a shot like this - Wait a minute I’m thinking. Nope, I’d be glued to the diving instructor. Good picture.

    If I were to catagorize art by way of verbal expression it would go as follows:
    “that’s nice” = you have my sympathy.
    “Hey that’s really good” = that is good but…
    “Ooooooh”! = Jaw dropping phenominal
    I give you an Oooooh!
