any minute now something is going to come up from the dark abyss on image #3 and snatch that diver.
The more I look at these images the more I'm convinced that #3 should be the favorite.
But then, what do I know....

Does it help if I tell you that the shot is at the "Great Wall" in Grand Cayman? Top of wall, 80 feet... bottom of wall... 9000 feet.

LOL! You wanna talk about "The Abyss"... heheh

Now you see what you did????
I just made a puddle under my chair.

Never have I strapped a tank on my back to go underwater, nor do I think I will ever. I'm a bit claustrophobic and I'd probably hurt myself if I did

That image however, stirs up FEAR in me.. {{{{{{{{{Almost 2 miles down}}}}}}}}}

I actually like # 3 a lot as well. It's the negative space with the solitary diver just hovering in the air and then the drop off to the abyss.

#3 for me. IMO, the other two are not even close. Of course, you are going to have to make the final decision. Just curious, what would you get if you brought out a little more detail in the coral formation but left the diver and open water just as they are?
