I couldn't believe how small these little guys are when I first encountered them.But what Ribbon Eels lack in stature they more than make up for with attitude! They are almost as tricky to shoot as Clown Fish, with their incessant darting about.

There is a reason why sunsets are a bit of a cliche, and thats because they press all our aesthetic buttons.Sipping an Ice cold Bintang, and watching this fabulous and unique display every evening, was one of the highlights of staying at Tasik Ria.

I couldn't see the expression on this fishermans face when I took the shot as it was very contrasty. It was only when I processed the shot that I realised he didnt seem best pleased with my shooting him.

It's quite weird really, divers will often quite happily let shrimps clean and poke about in their mouths, but imagine if we did the same with land based critters! Cockroach or grasshopper dentistry anyone?
