Turtles from Hawaii 2011

Turtles are a common animal when diving, depending on were you travel. What I tried to do with the following Photographs is capture the symbiotic feeding and cleaning behavior. The turtles get parasites and algae removed and the fish get a meal.The difficulty with these shots is getting close, usually the the fish gets spooked or the turtle gets spooked or both. Even when you are able to get close it's hard to get a nicely composed shot with the fish and turtle lined up.I've been working on these shots for over 15 years.
