Default Some shots of Marine Inhabitants…
So, just for compares, here is one old photo series of mine of the Lionfish and a new one, which I shoot lately…
Glad to hear your opinion – which one you like more…?












The New series:

I like your pictures, i like your model but i don't like background - i would like to see only black background, fish and some shadow/light play on fish - this could be very nice

Gorgeous pics! That really red one is very nice. I agree they pop against the black background.

Amazing! Excellent and for sure, well balanced mix of knowledge, experience, skills and equipment. Your pictures are nothing but a pure art.

Best regards,

the first of the new series (flying above the macro algae) is the best, IMO. Very well done.

Thank you,folks!
If you had notice…, there are “streaks”/ reflections in the Lionfish’s eye…
It’s just from my two external flahes –
430EX-above the tank – blue streaks reflection and 580 EX – straight “fill” flash – the green streaks reflection.

I agree with Norbert. That's why I choose the second series as my favorite over your original old set of photos.

Neat eye ball lightning streaks. I noticed them in the wide shot and was wondering what it was. It makes that photo very interesting.

How can you just pic one?... They are all wonderful shots, but the 3 that stand out for me are 6, 7 & 8.

So, about the variety of the upper one Clown…
A mate from PFK told me that it’s “Elusive and rare Brown common clown”
I’m curious to know any other opinion about…?
And here is the typical Amphiprion Ocellaris, though…

Awesome!... You can actually see teeth on the clown with the anemone. I have a couple of clowns in my reef tank also.
