Hydroids, Cat's Meow, Fiji

At the very end of what appeared to be a great dive (although none of the other pictures made the cut), with very little film left, I saw a photographer taking pictures of this huge hydroid.  Normally, I'm kinda snobbish about glomming onto another photographer's subject just as soon as his fins disappear into the distance, but this was a really nice hydroid, and it was immense, and, well, I just couldn't help myself.  I shot it wide open to make it more dreamy and diaphanous.  I wanted to go back with a fresh roll of film, but that was our last shot at this dive site.
