Hi Aaron this is one of my favorite picture's of yours but I'm not sure it promotes the ethical treatment of animals. This is a clear example of the need to educate divers on the dangers involved with fish boxing and the need to be fully aware that things can quickly turn nasty. My money was on the fish and I'm glad to see you don't punch below the pectoral fins. As ever very silly.....but still in aww of your underwater talent.LF
Aaron Whittemore replied:
Andy, I am so sorry I have offended your delicate sensibilities, and hang my head in shame, I hope I recover from the scolding. In the mean time, thanks for finding a way to enjoy the image anyhow.

Wonderful as always, Aaron! I guess a question might literally be, How do you "handle" this type of photographic opportunity? :) L/F
Byron Varvarigos
Superb shot, Aaron! LF (I read up on Steve Irwin's sad loss after seeing this photo but now feel reassured about Deana's safety).
