Split-Shot Over-Under View of Raja Ampat Karst Islands and Coral Shelf

Full prompt

A pristine over-under 50/50 split level photograph in Misool, Raja Ampat. The upper half reveals lush, forested limestone karst pinnacles jutting out of a tranquil tropical bay beneath puffy cumulus clouds and gentle dawn light. The lower half under the waterline reveals a dazzling, shallow fringing reef bursting with neon yellow staghorn coral, soft blue sea stars, and iridescent blue-green chromis fish schooling in bath-warm crystal water. The meniscus line of the calm water cuts smoothly across the center of the frame. Shot using a 230mm glass dome port with twin balanced strobes underwater, flawless exposure across both terrestrial and underwater planes.
