It's almost incredible that the pic could be true, even if it does not seem mounted. Beautiful symbiosis. Good technique of underwater shoting. Great colour of the sea.

I love it Sonia. I know that these underwater shots are tough, this one is really great. I really like your framing and the sharpness is what makes this shot.

clear and sharp under water shot. No worries, we believe its a real fish at its position while taking this picture

Sonia:

The fish is a Sergeant Major. It is a member of the Damesilfish family. The behaviour it is doing is called "shadowing", this is the first time I see a damesilfish do this. Shadowing is done by predatious fish that hide behind a large plant eating or plankton eating fish to approach unsuspecting prey. So your friend is the plankton eating fish ;�)

Great shot under difficult circumstances!

Incredible shot, Sonia! It seems to be the one scene of a movie completely. I'm adding this into my "Tropical Islands" theme. I really like your cool photo!
