The classroom and underwater work of Shedd's Underwater Photography Class for adults was wonderful. In addition to our instructor’s knowledge, ability to teach to different experience levels and availability of practice equipment, being in the Caribbean Reef was a phenomenal experience. This picture of Nickel came as I was hovering about 3 feet over the green moray eel.  I looked up to see Nickel being a little more curious than I had ever expected. Thank goodness for autofocus, because I snapped the shutter more out of reflexive surprise than careful composition. What a great adventure!
