Kind of bait ball of fishes are found one in a while. Taking a photo of such event has a couple of challenges. First one is you should have good visibility of the water to capture it with clarity. Second one is you need to act quickly. This time in I was lucky to find and shoot this at my wreck dive at Medhufaru at Colombo.

I may have said before that I am serious about the aesthetic value of an UW photo.
This photo doesn’t have any rare creature or phenomenon, but this is a typical example for a recreated art. This is simple and unique.
This is an example for a photo I captured in very poor sea conditions. Water was murky and current was strong that lead me think photography is the last thing I would consider doing.

Hawkfish is not difficult to capture because they stay still for a while allowing you to get a photo if approach gently. In this case, I am particularly pleased with the diverse background colours those add something more to the image.
