"To me, this is the perfect fish portrait. It's as if the squirrelfish were posing for a fish identification guide. With it's spines errected and fins spread out, it's almost as if the fish is saying: "See, I'm a Longjaw Squirrelfish --you can tell by the characteristic number of spines and shape of my fins.""
Photographed by George Perina of Santa Barbara, California in Roatan, Honduras in Summer, 1998, with Sea & Sea SX1000 housing with 90mm macro lens, YS300 strobe and Fujichrome 50 film. |
