Green sea turtles can be pretty relaxed around human swimmers. This guy seemed to be almost swimming alongside me, just off the beach at a hotel in Barbados. They are an endangered species, however, so best to let them approach rather than do the approaching. This is a rare shot captured with my non-pro/prosumer gear — the Nikon 1 AW1 underwater system. For a camera that receives a lot of criticism, it’s actually pretty remarkable that it goes underwater (an interchangeable lens camera no less) without a housing. Nikon 1 AW1 with Nikkor AW 11-27mm lens (at 11mm) ISO 160, f/4 at 1/500th of a second.

Love it!
Absolutely beautiful!
Impressed with the camera, but more impressed with the shot! So graceful in their element.

Besides spectacular color, the composition is superb! BTW, I’ve been to Barbados several times and I love it there.
