Congratulations Bruce Enns
Freckled Hawkfish on his perch

Hi all, This is a Freckled Hawkfish from the Roma reef near Wakatobi dive resort in Sulawesi Indonesia. They are called Hawkfish because of their habit of perching on the edge of coral formations and scanning for prey. The background of this image required considerable clean up because of lots of little dead coral fingers (which turn very white) and are quite distracting if not dealt with in PP. I like the colours and the attitude of this fish. This would have been a more compelling image if the dark background had been dark blue water rather than empty black space...i.e. more of a fill flash and less of a flash as main light exposure.

Canon Rebel XT in Ikelite housing with DS125 and DS50 strobes in E-TTL mode, Canon EF-S 60mm macro, AV mode, ISO 100, 1/200s, f/16

Comments and critiques are welcome and much appreciated. Thanks for looking!

Cheers!
Bruce
