Description

This jellyfish was photographed just a fraction of a second before the wave covered it. I was fortunate this time since only 4 frames were required to obtain the effect I wanted (in the past I had to take dozens of pictures). No PS burning was used; the colors and shades are natural. The shutter speed of 1/475 sec did not stop the motion of the water; spot metering. Thanks for looking.
