A New Year Kiss
Sorry, haven't been around much lately. Had two weeks photography in/under the Caribbean followed by a long-planned knee replacement when I got back. Been home a couple of weeks and starting to feel a bit more mobile and able to get on sorting out a lot of 2007 stuff. Here's one:
A Smooth Trunkfish takeen in Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles. It uses its tubular mouth to blow sand and debris away to reveal small inverts and the like - which it then hoovers up.
Canon 5D, 100mm, iso 200, 1/125 @ f18. two flashes. Biggish crop - maybe 40%
Happy New Year everybody

excellent, if these are as nervous as the red sea similar families then it's a very difficult one to get. lovely angle.
