Pink anemonefish

[Alfred Forns]

From the Solomos a Pink Anemonefish home in its anemone. Fun watching these guys dart in and out of the anemone. Prime target for the on photographers. Image made with Nikonos V 15mm UW Nikons and 150 Ikelite

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Nice one Al! Really nice. Must have been darn close with that 15mm. One of the best lenses I have ever owned for u/w work. I would try a slightly different crop (and take off the frame edge on RHS). I feel the fish is just too close to the center line, however, the bottom left corner tentacles look great and enhance the image for me, so a tough choice.

I like this a lot, great setting, exposure control, composition and beautiful fish. It has a nice 3D feel to it and reminds me a little of one of the Mac OS X wallpapers. :)

Very delicate fish and beautiful setting, the darkish ambiance makes the fish really glow.

I'm enjoying these underwater pics Alfred. Really like the greens in this. Also like the angle of the fish in relation to the tentacles of the anemone. The light blob tips give it a nice glow.

Another nice one Al! I love the sharpness and detail on the fish and the soft-looking green tentacles with their 'glowing' tips. The number of different colours and variations in those anemones is phenomenal...each one offers a slightly different setting for the large assortment of clowns.

They were probably my favorite subjects.

Cheers!

Nice one Al. I would have to say a favorite of mine of your U/W images. The anemone makes a great BG.

A whole new world under the sea. Well done on the light to show up the fish and anemone, and agree with Akos to crop from the right, to the edge of the upper tenticles.
