Bruce Hall - Underwater
Today’s featured artist is Bruce Hall. Bruce is an incredible photographer whose talent is displayed in a variety of subjects. However, these underwater works are absolutely awesome! Here he shares a world few of us get to experience. My favorites are “giantkelp”, “giant_green_anem” and “up_close”. - ArtSweet

Simply stunning! Bruce - you do it again and again and again -
bravo!
My favorites are the golden sea kelp and another sea kelp. Such light and sensual feeling captured there. It was my dive fix for this week.
