    how adorable, i love their transparency….and love to just watch shrimps in the rockpools, they are fascinating and lightning quick to retreat if they feel the slightest bit threatened, what a great capture…the blue and reds on him really stand out .. gorgeous!

    Matt, I think this is the place and I’m thrilled to be viewing it with so many other people! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful spectacle with us all! I think Velvet Eagle is right when he stated that Room With A View deserves an award! I would second that! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Thinking of you!Sx

    Great image, very good light. I know how hard it is to separate this creatures from the background to actually see them on the photo. This is a great example. Nice lines and DOF field too.

    This is incredibly beautiful. Your underwater world is wonderful, sometimes powerful, sometimes, threatening and sometimes, as in this image, very delicate and gentle.
    Lovely shot
