Bluefin Trevally (Caranx Melampygus)A Bluefin Trevally (Caranx melampygus) cruising by at Table Coral City, Wakatobi. These usually school to hunt, and are fast predators.

The photo was actually shot from the hip with the 10-24mm widge angle lens (at the 24mm end) in 8m depth and I got lucky. Unfortunately I had only one flash working, the other one had flooded on the day before, so I had to use +5EV flash compensation for wide angle.

Other camera settings are f/11, 1/60s and ISO 200. I only level adjusted this in Aperture and applied selective brightness and darker edges using Color Efex Pro.
