Pacific Seahorse, San Francisquito Reef, Sea of Cortez

This is one of those "I was there and so was the seahorse" pictures, with not much going for it in terms of composition or transcendent artistic impact, but it was my first full-sized seahorse, and I had to capture it, if only for documentary reasons. If this one could have been coaxed out of his crevice, he probably would have been  about six inches long, maybe eight is he'd unrolled his tail.

Nikon D100, 105mm f/2.8 AF Auto Micro Nikkor, Subal D-10 Housing, 2 Sea and Sea 90 strobes, f/25, ISO 200.
