Steven Kovacs is an incredible photographer. Not only are the subjects almost impossible to photograph, they appear to be posing for him and displaying their unusual behaviors. He must have spent numerous hours on each subject to obtain such unique photos. The beauty of these images is unrivaled. As an underwater photographer myself, I am in awe of his expertise and artistry.

The author exhibits both technical mastery of photography and the ability to reveal subtle artistic perspectives of life underwater. A well written book that is entertaining and informative, it features extraordinarily difficult-to-get shots that are possible only upon interminable hours of patiently observing fish behavior. I have heard the author speak about his techniques and confirmed that he should have, at a minimum, a rebreather, but preferably gills. It is only through this combination of technique, perspective and patience that such images are possible. A great buy.

What technically perfect images! I can say this book rivals all the top name pros. Should I only get one or two images that great I would be thrilled! Get a job with National Geographic!! I look forward to more great collections.
