Thanks for looking! As always, C&C are welcome.

The top one is cool, those are baby clownfish, right? At first I thought it was just some kind of algae.

Wow those shots are amazing! its like a whole different world than the naked eye. loved the first picture the best I think.


I dont even think I noticed my cleaner shrimps legs looking that fuzzy before. great pics.

Thanks guys! Recty, yes those are clownfish eggs. The "momma" is keeping them clean, and the tentacles are from the anemone that the clowns live in.

Alexander, I agree - it is amazing how hairy all the critters are. If you check out the below link to my flickr account, there are a few more of several different kinds of shrimp, crabs, etc.

That last pic is sweet

Beautiful pics, I like the clown eggs. What did you shoot those with?

[kilroy217]

Thanks for the comments! Octoshark, I used a Nikon D90 with a Nikon 105mm f/2.8 VR Micro-Nikkor. I also used a Nikon SB-600 flash off-camera.

Excellent usage of DOF on the first shot.

Thanks for posting.

[kilroy217]

Thank you!

Absolutely gorgeous, did I over look what type of camera and lens you used for those pictures. I love the closeup of clownfish larva.

In the first shot you really portrayed a neat perspective. Every following example is interesting and clean. There sure is some first class work floating around this week. :)

[kilroy217]

Wow, TS, thank you. That is a huge compliment, and I am honored. I still consider myself a beginner (only doing photography about 2 years, only shooting macro a few months), and I think this is the first time anybody has called my work "first class". :)
