Action-camera reef wall

An ultra-wide action-camera view of a dark reef wall with cup sponges and a loose school of fish into bright open water. The near wall needs warmth while the background must stay luminous blue.

FiveMeters restoration of Action-camera reef wall: Brown reef and pale sponges separate from blue water without flattening the open background.

What FiveMeters recovered

Brown and orange return to the reef; pale sponge cups separate from rock; scattered yellow fish regain colour without contaminating the surrounding blue.

Still visible

Soft edges, compressed shadow detail and limited resolution on the smallest fish remain. Distant animals stay silhouettes where they occupy few pixels.
