Violet, You're turning violet!

  1. Straight out of Oompa-Loompa Land...

     

    Trumpetfish in its blue phase with redeyes to match (no photoshopin done).

  2. It's a very creative photo, original angle of view and it is not so evident to approach that kind of fish. It's just missing a little bit of sharpness (as far as I can see on the jpeg posted) but anyway good job!

  3. Thank you for the critique on the photograph and the nice comments. I appreciate them. I am assuming your critique on sharpness is based on the blurred mouth area of the trumpet fish. Photographing these fish from this angle makes it close to impossible (if at all possible) to have the entire front area of the fish in sharp focus. Because of its long length, I had to choose whether to have the mouth in sharp focus or the eyes. In which case, I chose to focus on the eyes.

     

    I suppose a better choice would have been to focus midway between the mouth and eyes and hope the digital camera's large depth of field would have covered both areas. To be honest, I am amazed the darn thing was even in focus. Prosumer digital cameras don't have the best focusing system and I have lost plenty of good shots because of it. Oh well... Guess I'll have to break down and get a DSLR now. Thanks! :D
