Best of Mike #88

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.
