3 Sisters Springs is a beautiful hidden landmark in Citrus County. You can only ge there by boat, and you have to drop anchor and swim in through the trees to find this glorious sight. We took our friend Tina here a couple of weekends ago. Tina is a certified scuba diver and just loves to be in the water, even when it is 72 degrees.
This trip out we decided to bring the underwater camera and see what we could come up with. When the sun is out it makes the most beautiful streaks thru the water. In this picture Tina is free falling into the 2nd of the 3 springs. We had such a blast and the pics turned out great. Time to invest in yet another camera.

What a great model to work with, If I could only remember her name. We had such fun shooting all over the resort ending with her balcony.

Thought you might get a kick out of the mouseover. I gave myself a cheap 5 minute enhancement in Photoshop. On a more serious note, the lighting was interesting in this shot. In order to get a silhouette, I metered for the outside light. The light outlining my back is actually bright sunlight streaming in from another room. I just thought that was an interesting point.
