Alex Mustard - Reef Scene

 

This is one of my favourite shots from this year, it is pretty typical coral reef scenery, but photographed as a silhouette, with different layers of fish. I really like the effect, and it is not a shot I have seen done before.

The large fish is an adult blue triggerfish, while the smaller fish in the foreground are anthias. The long fish in the background are crocodile needlefish.
