This guy is a cuttlefish. Highly intelligent and can communicate with different light patterns.

My first try with a wide-angle lens. A whales skeleton.

Great pics, and thats an example of a Blue Whale, unless I am mistaken. They are very rare today.

... and on top of that, this one was pretty small too. A surprising fact is that you would likely be surprised at how light that skeleton is. The bones are very porous inside making it very light relative to bones like ours.

What really amazes me is, these shots were taken through 2 1/2 inch thick plexiglas with a cheapie $150 camera by a rank amateur photographer. You guys have a way of making folks feel special. Thanks! ;)
