    Your pictures sure beat trying to swim in the water and looking at them!
    Great detail, as usual.

    If I could add, when i dive I kind of like the way they face you directly.
    Though framing from the top looking down is not ideal for photography I find the "look" quite nice.
    Like this picture but direct facing and a little more angle from the top.
    You can "see" the full glory of the spiney fins, lower perspective is nice too!

    Hristo,
    Such a beautiful series. They are all so beautifully shot.
    Personally I like the full body shot instead of the close up as this is such a majestic fish
    and should be shown full body.

    Hristo,
    Beautiful shots. I pick #4 and #8.

    By the way, if you look at the last picture, there are blue streaks on the eye. What is that? Is the eye always like that?

    Thank you, folks!
    Luenny, these “streaks” in the Lionfish’s eye are just the reflections of my two external flahes –
    430EX-above the tank – blue streaks reflection and 580 EX – straight “fill” flash – the green streaks reflection.

    WOW!
    Seen these guys in the wild when I dive but never in this detail!
    Thanks for the pictures AQUASAUR.
    I'll not "see" them the same when dive again. hehe

    I tend to agree with Richard, the full body shots are my favourite but the close up is cool too.

    Yes, I like mostly the close ups too! There is the only way to see some fish details, which couldn't see by the normal photos...

    So, what will you say about these three “Warrior” close ups:

    Alectis Indicus


    Naso Vlamingi


    Chaetodermis Pencilligerus

    Good grief Hristo, you're tempting me to shoot fish again. Great shots. Are all these fishies yours?

    Thanks, Luenny!
    The saltwater aquatic genre is the only what I haven't ever for my own!
    And may be I forgot to notice, that all my photos of saltwater Inhabitants
    I made being guest in some Friends or at the public Aquariums…!

    Hristo,
    Great shot of the Clown. That streak down the head/gill area is really freaky with those spikes coming out. Keep them coming.

    Keeping fish as pets can be a rewarding hobby.
    Designing and maintaining your aquariums is a wonderful creative outlet.
    Watching your fish swim around is both relaxing and fun.

    Hristo, very nice!

    Did you take these in public aquariums or your home or someone's home? Was it complicated to set up the lighting?

    BTW - I prefer the frames with the copyright and your nickname.
    BTW2 - Your 430 flash is the EX or EZ series?
