Thanks to Deefstes for our new theme dedicated to the opposites of our last theme! This time it's all about the sharp, the pointy, the spiky, the stick-like ...

Awesome shots Bora Horza. Do you know which Scorpionfish that is? I still have a very hard time really bringing out a Scorpionfish in my pics. They either blend in almost perfectly with the surrounds when I don't fire the flash or they stand out like an ugly red blotch when I do fir the flash. I guess I'll just have to get a strobe.

Good grief! Prickly is indeed the word. It looks like those spikes emanate from the depths of hell.
