Awesome job on getting the blue to shine through, I still struggle getting those reflective colors to show properly. Do you feel it's more in post op or settings? Any specific tricks or a bit of luck?

Many thanks Ryan. Appreciate your comment. Be patient and wait for the right background I would say. I ln this case the black background really makes the colours pop. It was easier to achieve the black background in this shot as it was a night dive. But it's achievable in the day also alsong as shoot against the open bit of blue water. High shutter speed and f-stop and position your strobes right but with good power then you will be fine. Bit of trial and error really as long as patient with the little guy.
