Stingray, Fernando de Noronha
Photograph by Michel Braunstein, My Shot
The picture was shot in Fernando de Noronha (Brazil). The dive site is called Cabeço da Sapata. It's an underwater mountain rising up from the floor nearly to the surface. The dive site is deep, 138 feet (42 meters). There is often a lot of current coming in from the outer sea. We were not supposed to get deeper than 115 feet (35 meters), but when I saw that stingray in the depths of the valley, I went down to take some pictures.

This tree grows at a coral reef that remains covered by the water of the sea almost the entire part of the day. At the high tide only the canopy is uncovered by the water. It's a real example of the resistance and perseverance to live. It's the power of life! Picture taken a couple of miles off the coast at Coroa Vermelha, Bahia, Brazil.
