Wow! Great color and a perfect crop. Was this taken while scuba diving or at an aquarium? Either way, a very nice image.   Posted: 07/08/2024 14:20:41

Hi Micheal - What a surreal, gorgeous image -- the brilliant colors, the subject matter, and extreme vignetting that brings the eye to the center and keeps it there. Congratulations on a fine catch.   Posted: 07/21/2024 18:32:31

I used a snoot. That is why the surroundings are dark. I forgot to mention the snoot.   Posted: 07/27/2024 22:57:46

They can be colorful because they are poisonous to eat.   Posted: 07/21/2024 20:52:31

The bright saturated colors were the first thing to catch my eyes. Excellent photograph. This must have been quite a challenge to operates the flashes and camera while scuba diving.   Posted: 07/27/2024 23:41:40
