Description
This is a top-down aerial photo of a fever of cownose rays approaching a school of menhaden fish taken approximated 100 yards from the coast of Southampton, NY USA.
We had just experienced a westerly swell which often makes the ocean much clearer than normal. The wind was coming from the south which created very calm conditions. The sun was bright, and the skies were clear which allowed light rays to diffuse through the water and light up sand clouds.
