White saddled damsels
This is another from the Philippines. I am currently sorting through over 5000 pictures so will hopefully post more soon. Very lucky they lined up like this! There are actually 9 fish but you'll need good eyesight to see them all in this small version.

Canon Powershot A620, full frame, 1/125s, f2.8. Minor levels in photoshop with some back scatter from the flash removed. The remaining specks in the water do not show up when printed :smile:

It's gone a bit pixelated round the top fish - wasn't like that before I uploaded it, apologies.

Hi Jack, yes, that was actually the angle of the sea bed where we were diving. I was horizontal.
