Thanks, @JimNelson.
Macro shots underwater is more challenging though, as we don't use tri-pods.

Well Done Albert! Macros do bring out the detail, especially under water.

Yes, they are, @Reza.
Like many small/tiny animals, their unique features are more appreciated through photography. Most time, you can hardly see the details of their wonderful features with naked eyes.

Jewel !
