Dug out this old photo from 2007, Taken at Palma Aquarium Mallorca with my old Canon 10D Camera, surprised when it swam so close. Bit of a challenge through the glass but happy with the outcome.

When scuba diving at 30 feet or more you see many of these almost every little hole on the bottom there's one inside but at that depth they're just Grey the colors in this thing are beautiful

Around the Greek Iles have seen them swimming around. Seen theGreek woman jumping in after them when catching them beat them on the rocks to get the black dye out of them.Nice.

The shot of the Octopus on its own is first class Kevin but I like the light vignette around it , works for me!

What a fantastic capture this is Kevin, your focus, lighting and detail are amazing. Capturing through glass is not always an easy task, but you did a brilliant job. Susan

Great capture. Reminds me of when I was diving on a wreck at night in south Florida and found a very small juvenile octopus and sat in the palm of my hand. Unbelievable creatures.
