Amphipods - male & female I believe, drifting midwater in the shallows in Aughrus Bay.
"Sharpnose"
I love the facial markings of the Sharpnose Puffer. Finding a curious subject is key for this type of image, as these guys can be quite timid.

"Basslet Smile"
A Portrait of a Fairy Basslet. A very color, but quick moving fish, so it becomes a challenge to get a subject to sit still long enough to focus. The vibrant color of the small Basslet makes it worth the wait.

Jellyfish Abstract
I photographed facing up toward the top of the water to include the rippling water, and use the soft, overcast surface light to illuminate the jellyfish. I love how the jellyfish are reminiscent of both ameobas and flowers.
