This colourful wrasse was swimming in a consisten pattern around me as I was taking macro photos, so I noted the point at which it would come above me with a blue water background, and took a shot each time it came past that point. Made in November 2005 during a photographer trip aboard the MV Esperance Star,
A brilliant anemone fish. Image captured on a trip to Tawali Dive Resort, near Alotau in Milne Bay Province of PNG.
At Tawali in PNG's Milne Bay Province, some of the dive sites featured some huge coral. These elephant ear corals were so huge that I wanted to put a diver in the picture just to give a sense of scale. Of course the wide angle lens I was using (10.5mm fisheye) does exagerate that a little, but nonetheless it was a huge coral. The clear blue water provided a nice negative space.
