I know it is impossible, but i'd get at least to eye level of the creature.
Maybe something like this.

I agreed with Waisj... Also try not to shoot the cuttlefish against the coral...it tends to blend into the background.

My share of the cuttlefish.

bro, that's a squid or cuttlefish? i thought it's a squid. I always like shots liek this, brings out the subject. If only it is sharper. u got to have the eyes sharp, or in this case, the face.

Alot of ppl also tot is a squid....

No..its baby cuttlefish abt 3cm....

We saw a few fisherman pulling up fishing net and my dive guide went and managed to rescue a few of them.

We then brought them under and release them. Also at the same time..take a few photo lah
