We get thousands of clownfish shots but this one sticks out. Good composition makes any subject. Here it's a frame within a frame (purple of anemone) and the fish lined up.

A keenly observed behavior shot
Getting close to this dragonet was a challenge because it would turn its back on me. I had to wait for at least an hour until it became comfortable with my presence.
The fish are very common but sadly so is this setting, we need more moorings to preserve our reefs. The day had big surge conditions, I held onto the anchor chain with my knees and waited for the stationary moment between surges. Sony cybershot DSCP9.
Turtle on Flinders Reef, Australia
Clownfish, Ribbon Reef # 9 GBR Australia
On a Cozumel night dive, this Sharp Tipped Eel posed for me and my Motor Marine II. I used a 2 to 1 lens, with YS60 and YS30 strobes.

Flying Gurnard, Crocodile Avenue, Pulau Mabul. Caught it resting on the sandy bottom during a night dive.
