13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Octopus connection

I was on a late afternoon dive and spotted an octopus lounging on the reef. The octopus was lazily moving from spot to spot and would occasionally fan out his arms. In this photo the octopus had just fanned out his arms and spread them across the reef. It was at the exact moment a diver was in the background watching.
