Miniature Scorpionfish
The octopus was trying it's best to go unnoticed in a wall face of Pescador Island, Moal Boal. I wanted to capture the eye of the octopus peering out at me, and thinking "has the diver seen me?"

soft coral
Golden Hairy Shrimp
File fish
Mandarins - One of the most challenging experiences for me - to be able to see the Mandarin Fish, focus and get the shot before they darted away. What a fascinating ritual! Olympus OMD-EM1
Silent Dancer - The shrimp looks like it is dancing across the soft coral - love the textures and how the shrimp seems to mimic them. Olympus EM1.
Yawning Frogfish
Shooting B&W super macro is not often done and I love doing it. Finding the right subject on the right environment and shooting it was my only task. When I saw this hairy shrimp on the algae, I knew it was my opportunity.

Impressive close-up with wonderful colors and the perfect focus. What a cute little critter and a hard one to perfectly capture in a photo!
There was a large shoal of small red fish evading a whale shark by hiding beneath our boat in Honda Bay, Palawan. Sometimes they gathered around us to seek protection. When they did break free from the boat they followed the whale shark.

Pink-ish Roar
I've been trying to get some good over/under photos of the whale sharks in Honda Bay, Palawan for a long time, and have managed quite a few in this last year. I've been going on this boat since the first trip nearly ten years ago.
