Ha!  ever-so-slightly out of focus, my eye!  I'm still at the stage
where I have to explain most every fuzzy blob I shoot.  "Yes, that
really is a quill fin blenny not a shadow, and just 'ever-so-slightly'
outside the frame of this one is the whale shark!"  :-)

I wish both of you guys would hurry up and get busy with your Nikon
950's underwater so you can give ME some tips.  ...besides the obvious,
'shoot up' and 'take the lens caps off first'.  :-)  I've been working
with it on land and look forward to a dive trip next month to
experiment.
