A Bearded Fireworm inching his way off a rock.
"Gobe Face"

"Smile"
These guys have huge personalities. I spent a good 30 minutes with this one and it felt like we were playing a game. Really entertaining to photograph.
"Rave"
A very colorful Triple Fin Blenny portrait. These small fish have excellent color, but what I really liked about the subject was the color background of algae this guy chose to post up on.
A female glass shrimp with eggs. Mum-to-be
Roughback shrimp, have to look closely just to be sure I saw them in the first place. They can grow up to max 1.15"
"Eye See You"
An Octopus takes cover within the reef.
"Fingerprints"
Fingerprint Cyphoma are generally a rare find. I was very excited to find two together.

A Red Lip Blenny standing his ground on the South Side of Grand Cayman.

Possibly the most vibrant critter I have seen in Cayman.

A blenny isolated with a bright background.
shortlistedShortlisted!

shortlistedShortlisted!
"Crazy Eyes"
Close up of a Blenny. Achieved with Subsea +10 and +5 stacked on a 100mm macro lens.
Coral polyps at night. I floated down below the coral and shot upward, one strobe angled from the side to provide texture and illuminate the back tentacles, and the other strobe giving a touch of fill light. These are the actual colors of the coral.
"Orange Crush"
I loved the colors that this Triple Fin had chose to sit around,
"Goldy"
This golden fish was so small. It is sitting on a Purple Rope Sponge on the edge of the wall.
"All Smiles"
A 3-tank trip finishing up in Red Bay put us in the prime spot to look for some Red Lip Blenny action.
"Say Ahh"
A colorful Blenny close up.
