Description
After 7 times in the Red Sea I experienced maybe the most horrible minutes of my life.
I concentrated so much on photographing the small, colorful and beautiful fish, I did not notice I had disturbed a Red Sea Giant Moray.
When it came out of its cave, I froze.
When I understood to swim away, I was told the giant moray, which was over 2 meters long, was just a few seconds aways from biting my legs.
But still... I love the underwater world. It is mostly so peaceful and so beautiful.

I came very close to a giant moray once; I totally understand those frightful minutes! But you got the capture anyway! Great job on the capture and getting away safely!

Congratulations! Your image has earned a feature in Women Photographers group. It's like winning the blue ribbon at a county fair! You are invited to add it to the July Features Discussion for archive purposes. Thanks for being an active member. Great image!

Johanna, you are just way too brave for me! I don't like snakes, and that is just WAY too much like a snake for me! LOL...very pretty picture though!
Johanna Hurmerinta replied:
Thank you for the comment. Snakes are not cool to me either, we have them here, but mostly in the country side, not in the city. Giant Moray... hope to never see this fellow again close to me.

Debby, yes "eeee"... was what I thought when meeting this "fellow". I almost fainted when it came towards me.
