Here is an odd off topic subject for you picture buffs

[Mike Cavanaugh]

I went scuba diving this past weekend... with my dive camera. I was 14 miles offshore diving on the old Gator Bowl pressbox that was turned into an artificial reef. It was at a depth of about 80 feet.

I have this truly unbelievable picture... the picture itself is out of focus, and messy.... but there is a VERY CLEAR, freaky, scary, beautiful, chilling, image of a woman with long hair peering out of the structure in the background. The details are all there... eyes, nose, mouth, chin, ear, very detailed neck, shoulders, hair, even the shadow from her chin line on her neck..... you would have to see it to believe it. It is 100% unedited, and there are no flaws in it even when you zoom way in.

I will post a pic on here once I figure out how to copyright the image or something... There is no doubt in my mind that this picture is magazine / news worthy. In my honest opinion it is such an unbelievable picture, I can't risk it getting "out" on the web and loosing credit for it.

Anywhoo, how does one go about copyrighting such an image? If I want to get the picture published in say a dive magazine or something, how do I go about doing it? It is a 6 megapixel picture, so I can very easily blow it up into a BIG picture.

the most interesting thing in my opinion was I copied it and tried editing it playing with the colors, tints, temperatures, and all that crap and NONE of the edits were better then the original picture.

Jeesh, this is a freaky picture. I get chills down my spine just looking at it, yet she is so beautiful I can't stop looking at her. VERY WEIRD STUFF.
