These small transparent shrimp (about 1.5 in) are some of my favourite macro subjects when shooting underwater...taken in September 2006 on the reefs near Wakatobi Dive Resort, Sulawesi, Indonesia.
This is a crop, and I was torn between cutting off the antennae, or including all of it along with several very prominent and difficult to remove distractions...
Canon Rebel XT, Canon 60 mm macro, dual strobes
Comments and critique are most welcome and appreciated.
Way cool and ethereal too boot. I like the crop. What is the shrimp resting on?

Very nice, Iike the detail of the crab's foot pulling for grip on the anemone. These guys are always a pleasure to shoot.
I would like to see the shrimp moved back into the frame so that he doesnt appear to be running out of the frame. Usually it is better to have more room in front and less in back of a subject.
