This picture of some Trevally wasn't as good as I hoped but I liked the composition. A bit of reframing and the application of a PSP7 filter brought it to this, which I think is an improvement.
Having been bitten by one of these whilst snorkling I thought I'd get my own back by forcing one to be a model! Found this one in a gap in the coral and kept it there by repeatedly flashing my strobe at it!
