I have this photo in the current show at Icebox Gallery - "Caught in the Act". The whole show is pictures of people taking pictures. I knew the show was coming up while I was in the Seychelles, so I was always keeping an eye out for a good shot. I got my opportunity on this dive. I saw the turtle way ahead of the rest of the divers. I went over & took a few photos & just followed the turtle along - waiting for the other photographer to notice. As soon as he finally saw it, he was so focused on the turtle, I'm sure he had no idea I was focused on the both him & the turtle. The only thing that bothers me about the photo is that he is using his hand to steady himself in a situation where he really didn't need to. I can't tell for sure - but hopefully he is only touching rock, not coral. I have found in my travels that people touch stuff much more in Europe than they do in the States & the Caribbean. It's really hard to not get annoyed with these divers! Especially since I was there doing conservation work.
