wow, very nice.... I would love to have the Ningaloo Reef as my back yard stomping ground... I can't wait to come back there again.

Awesome! Great capture, i know exactly how hard it is to shoot those Coral Trouts, getting one in that position is spectacular

Thanks! This is patience, patience, patience. And many useless frames where he's in the wrong spot or doesn't actually open his mouth!

BTW - this guy is a Coral COD...we also get Coral TROUT and they don't usually have as many spots, have a different tail and are larger (usually). Just a little fauna fact from Ningaloo

Cod? Thats a grouper, you've been living in Oz too long, starting to speak funny like they do.... next you'll be calling a Naploean Wrasse a Maori Wrasse And out on the other coast that should be Grouper Hole not Cod Hole, silly Aussies.... :11:
