"Deep Beauty" captures the allure of the ocean and the female body form. This was taken in the stunning clear waters of Laguna Beach California. The outdoorsy Hannah appears to be rising to the heavens. Shot with the Canon 5Dsr in a Aquatech water housing to provide an ultra high resolution image. Definitely one of my favorite images.
