  1. I just can't get over these fish. They are so stunning! Posted 7 years ago
    1. And very hard to photograph because they only come out of the reef at dusk and then you cannot directly illuminate them or they hide. You have to keep your distance and stay very still and then they start showing up :-) Posted 7 years ago
  2. Breathtakingly beautiful! Posted 7 years ago
    1. Thanks for the appreciation :-) Posted 7 years ago
