Not really. The female in this photo was there first and just sat there while I took several photos of her. The male then appeared and they both sat there. They were somewhat recessed in the reef.

Great struff, Jim. Both of the shrimp shots are really nice. I like the drama of the cleaner shrimp shot. It really stands out against the dark background. The Squirrelfish pic is a great composition. Its neat the way you framed them in the hole.

Gilligian, You really make me miss diving in Hawaii.

Only 9 more months until I return....
