Hi Folks,

First off...Happy Holidays and hope Santa was good to you and your camera bags!

Here's another example of underwater camouflage...not as good as the pygmy seahorses but pretty close. The goby is just under a half inch long and lives on a whip coral...the coral is about the same thickness as a pencil and extends out like a solitary tree branch from the reef.

Haven't had time to comment on many of your shots, but have enjoyed them all. This one ranks close to the top of my list of your recent shots. Love the translucence of the little fish here.

Really cool and good camo but the eyes give the fish away. Excellent as always.

Hi Folks!

Thanks for the comments! Underwater photography is what got me started in photography, I owned an underwater camera even before I bought an SLR! Shows you where my priorities were!

Best to you all in the New Year! Happy and Safe Shooting!
