Best of Mike #231

The human eye is a wonderful instrument.

It can deal with great variations in light levels, contrast and depth of field.... giving you mind a completely clear idea of what you are seeing.

I am often reminded of this when I review the pixtures I have taken.

A scene that was nice but unremarkable when seen with the naked eye .... can require considerable "adjustment" in Lightroom to get something even close to the same clear image.

This is a Lesser Electric Ray.

Fairly common in the Caribbean.... it  is happy to lay on the bottom, in sand, gravel or sea grass.

Generally unconcerned with the approach of a diver.... it can deliver a mild (14-17 volt) electrical shock, if it thinks you have gotten too close.
