BEHIND THE SHOT: Initially,
we intended to take pho-
tos of frilled anemones
at 70 feet but because of
the cold water, we had to
cut the shoot short and
were on the way up to the
surface when we met a
smack of jellyfish. Amazed
by the display of colors, I
thought the shoot might
be salvaged after all. I
searched for ones near me
that were upright so that
it would come out like a
stained-glass lampshade.
The jellyfish movements
were unpredictable, and
it required an extra dive
after a surface rest
to capture this photo.
