A nice portrait and a well handled exposure. Can't help with the fish ID I'm afraid.

Beautiful shot Lea. If I could get one like this I would happily put up with a perch like this :smile: Sorry can't help with the fish either.

Another nice K/f shot Lea :toast: but can't offer a positive ID on the fish I'm afraid (with there being more than 2,000 species of Goby :confused: )

Jeff, where i live we only have 4 or 5 sorts of goby in the thames. i was thinking it could be a leopard spotted but probably wrong lol

It's a great shot! Lovely colours and I love the way the subjects stand out against that superb background.
