Compose a good picture
Avoid shooting down on the subject from above. Shooting down
usually results in a poor contrast because the subject blends into
the background. Try and shoot upwards from below the subject
so you get a blue water background and better contrast. Get the
entire subject into your picture frame. Don’t cutoff the hands, fins
or head of your subject. You can always crop you image later on
your computer if you want.
