Like crystal (tiger moray). The impressive set of teeth reminds me of crystal. The lightning is on purpose by lightning close-up very much from one side. Creating a coming out of shadow effect. Olympus E330, 14-54mm, single Ikelite DS125 strobe.

The Komodo Dragon is quite an animal. The boat in the background is our liveaboard. I highly recommend a trip to Komodo. Both above and below the surface, it is rather unique.
