Leaf scorpion fish, Wakaya, Fiji
When you take pictures of these fish from
the side, they look mostly like a leaf. After you look closely, they
look like a leaf with eyes. I've made several pictures from the
standard angle, and never printed any of them. This seems to be the trip for
head shots, so I thought I'd try the leaf fish from the front. Because
of limited depth of field (this is a tiny animal -- maybe an inch and a half
long, and thus slightly larger than life on the negative), I had the choice
of getting the eyes in focus or the mouth, and I went for the mouth. I
shot from a slightly high angle so you could see his back, blurry though it
is.
