Both beautiful, Kathleen. I think the B&W gives better separation of the subject from the background, I vote for it. Stay safe.

Both are well done--enjoyed. Iām a big fan of black and white, but your color version is the winner by a mile, for me at least.

Color by a country mile! That's one of the main reasons I love diving, all the incredible colors. And...a diver from Arizona? How does that work besides lot of travel?

I wanted to share something completely different from my usual genre. Last week Zi went diving in Cozumel. Despite many equipment failures, extremely strong currents and a few other fails, I still managed to catch this lovely eagle Ray swimming by.. I processed in both color and monochrome. Which do you prefer? Thank you
Both are outstanding shots
I certainly wouldn't argue about either

Underwater shots almost all need WB adjusted. On your RAW image using the eye dropper on the belly of the Eagle Ray should get you a really good start. They are magnificent creatures!!

Nice catch. Equipment failures?
Yes, one of my strobes failed and the o ring on another was loose and I was worried about it flooding.

I grew up on the ocean in so Florida so it comes naturally to me.

Color! Nice image in a challenging location because of the currents.
The currents were crazy this year. The wind shifted to the North and closed the diving for a few days.
