the skeleton of a cow fish
This female Ornate cowfish (Arcana ornate) was lovely enough to pose front on for me on a recent dive under Flinder’s pier. She was eye balling me. It was just like she was waiting for the right moment to land a big kiss right on the front of my lens . The white striped markings across her face are my favorite aspect to this image.
I named this photo in honour of one of my underwater photography idols, David Doubilet. I have been a fan of his work ever since I got into underwater photography. He has released a book with the same name, which is a series of fish face portraits. I have it at home and it is one of my favs. So much character in this female Ornate cowfish (Arcana ornate).
This female Ornate Cowfish was nice enough to turn around and give me a smile, under the Edithburgh Jetty. Browse By Category / Underwater / Panoramas / Adelaide and South Australia Add to Watchlist
Smooth Boxfish – a species common on the East Coast of Australia. Has hard scales that form geometrical ‘plates.’
I’ve been trying to get a good shot of one of these little beauties for ages, quite a task with a compact camera let me tell you. Anyhow on this dive I was determined and all my stalking and patience paid off when this fellow became accustomed to my presence somewhat instead of just bolting. / Aracana ornata , male. Flinders Pier.
What do you get if you cross a cow with a kingfisher and a mullet?
This fish is so tiny and beautiful! It has blue and yellow dots / stripes all over its body, as well as armour on top of its body. When feeding, it blows a jet of water out of its mouth into the sediment to uncover hidden prey.
