Blue sky
A twig against a blue sky, crossing contrails in a pale blue sky, plane contrails, cirrus streaks, bare and frosty branches against blue, seed heads and a reed plume against the sky, a branch with yellow buds, a snowy tree and balloons rising into the sky.
Blue water
The surface of a blue lake, a blue water surface, a calm blue lake, patches of water reflecting the sky, a sailing boat and a buoy on blue lakes, a steaming blue hot pool, a sandbank and lagoon in Mauritius and clouds above a lake.
Deep blue underwater
A whale shark in deep blue, from the side and from above, a diver beside a whale shark, batfish in open water and in a group, a reef slope in clear water, a hawksbill turtle and divers over an amphora wreck.

Questions about these blue backgrounds
Can I use these blue backgrounds for free?
Yes, for personal and commercial projects. All we ask is a link back to BigFoto.com; the box at the top of the page has a credit link you can copy.
Which blue backgrounds leave the most room for text?
The clear skies with a single contrail or twig, the blue water surfaces and the blue walls and fabric are almost all one colour, so text sits on them easily; the underwater photos have a darker, deeper blue.
