Encountered this sea turtle in Soma Bay in Egypt during snorkeling. Right before the shot it was feeding on some sea grass and then took of to the open sea. What made this shot for me is the warm sunlight hitting the turtle and the deep blue fall off in the background. Shot on a Sony A6000 with the 16-50mm Kit lens at 16mm. Used the Meikon underwater housing and a dome port. This shot was originally a portrait shot, which was turned into landscape using Photoshops generative fill, so some artifacting at the sides might be visible.

Beautiful shot. I love the colors, the fact that you get a nice sense of the environment, and those 2 sucker fish kinda' make the shot too
