Jim....I love that face!

It amazes me that so many of these fish look like God gave a box of crayons to a 5 year old and told her to color the fish any way she wished! Who else but a child could come up with some of these colors and patterns? :)
 
this was taken on my fourth or fifth time ever with a nikonos v. if you look real close in the very center of the photo you will see the angel. this photo was taken in destin, fl
 
I see an alot of baitfish, an Atlantic Spadefish and a Nassau Grouper but no Angelfish.

Am I missing something?
 
I'll upload it this time instead of using the hosting service. :)

yes, it's a pretty shocking colour, is it not! I think it was not only done by a kid, but a kid on LSD!

I got so close to it because it was asleep - otherwise they're almost impossible to photograph like that. Somewhere I have a frontal shot of it, and you can see all it's teeth. I'll dig it out and post it when I have time.

Hello,

Ahh yes the awsome angelfish. They make better dive buddies than humans do! While browsing the site tonight I felt that I should contribute one of my photo's to this thread. Please let me know what you think.
