Thanks Frank. I really do not like tight spaces, these caves are underwater at high tide. They are quite beautiful.

I like the image, but must admit to having been very disoriented by the view...I got the impression of a water level and strangely molded or eroded rock surfaces among which I had trouble deciding which way was up.
Then I rotated the image and found a view that seemed to make more sense.

Were you looking downward through an aperture at a more brightly lit area in which there was flowing water?

In your posted image the bright, "comma shaped" object seems to project up toward the viewer. When rotated, it appears to be viewed at a distance through an aperture...????

Help me out here....please?

Quite confusing, I know Dave. The water flows into the cave from the right( from the point of the comma, if you will) It pools in a the basin center left. I have attached another photo showing another part of the cave, there are many openings, all fill with water right to the top of the cave. The surfaces are ground smooth by the eons of wave action. I was sitting on what would be the floor of the cave shooting towards the openings. Hope that is of some help.

Nice composition. Difficult view. On download the graffiti vandals work gets more apparent. Some people feel a need to destroy the elegance of nature no matter where they go.

Looks like an abstract. I love the textures and the lighting. Really nice.
