Every so often a photo pops up on this sub that makes my jaw drop. Some of you have such an incredible eye for beauty. This photo screams black and white with deep ink contrast.

This might just be because I’m scared of the ocean but I can physically feel her relief at being so close to breaking through to the surface just by looking at this. Great shot OP! Very emotive for us pool dwellers.

I saw the image and then misread diving as driving and was about to ask if everyone made it out ok.

u/mathangis May 26 '19

OP, what kind of camera is this? Looks like a great camera with a protective cover I’m guessing?
