Swimming With Manatees

During my summer holiday, i was lucky enough to visit Florida with my family. During our stay we opted for an excursion where we spent a morning swimming with Manatees! This was an amazing experiance to get up close and personal with these wild giants. I was slightly afraid at first but once I was more comfortable in the water, I really enjoyed the experiance and came to understand how calm and harmless these creatures look although they are big and scary at first.
To document the experience I took an underwater camera with me. As I expected a lot of the photographs came out badly from the point of view of documenting my day out, but some of the colours and shapes and tones that came through were fascinating.




I love the light and reflection of the water in these images



This is the best photo that I got of what I was trying to photograph. Makes me smile every time.
