Taking pixtures of Scorpionfish is a little bit like taking pixtures of sunsets.
What you see with your naked eye, in this case something that looks very much like the surrounding rocks and coral.... a dull grey.
Is never quite as exciting as what you get once the light hits it.
Scorpionfish are very, very comfortable in their environment.
Knowing I guess, that if you were to touch them you would be much worse for the experience than they.
As they are in a group of fish that includes many of the world's most venomous species.
All this comfort translates into a fish that is more than happy to lay right where he is, while you work around him to get the best possible pixture.... including some nice, very close-ups.

Mike, I just never get tired of the incredible colors and the textures that you bring alive in these pictures. Thanks for letting me enjoy this beauty vicariously through you!!!
