  1. Such a fan of your clean style, only focusing on the essence. And an extremely interesting species as well, I had never heard of it. Posted 11 years ago

      1. It really is very recognizable. I can already see at the thumb-level that it is a Wendy photo, both from the photo itself and the caption :) Posted 11 years ago

    1. Thanks Claire Posted 11 years ago
  4. Nice abstract! Do you have any pics showing the 2nd eye, or the fish itself? Posted 11 years ago
    1. No, unfortunately not. They are so agile that it is already very difficult to capture them with the glass. Let alone on water height. Posted 11 years ago
  5. Whaaaaaat???? amazing! I have read they actually don't have 4 eyes but they do have 4 retinas! Such a cool feature! Never heard of it before! Thanks for sharing :-)
