Group's strength

This shot was taken in Marettimo, a beautiful island off the coast of Sicily in Italy. The cold but crystalline waters allow for great visibility and make this quality of shot of a school of barracuda possible in their typical movement. The closing of the diaphragm and the flash of light from the flashes very close allowed this shot against the sun and vertically.
