Finally

[justleesa]

After trying so long to get a "good" picture of a green lion fish. Most of the time the coral branches are in the way of the strobe. Today the dive master (thank you eddie ) found one resting beside a rock (this one was about 3" long). Took several, but this one came out the best.

Very nice....worth waiting for, huh?!? I like his expression, too!

Looks cute enough for a gentle pat......maybe with those spikes that wouldn't be such a good idea. Love the limited depth of field. What settings did you use?

 

[alcina]

What a cutie...he does look a bit possessed, though!

Great shot!

The Hoover book says that in captivity the lionfish makes an engaging pet, becoming very tame and accepting food from its keeper's fingers.

Veru cute, and nicely lit. You did well not to burn out the rocky areas yet still get the fish nice exposed.....well done!!
