Rispecia tryoni

Two mating Chromodoris kuniei photographed with a Sony RX100 in a

Nauticam housing using a single Sea & Sea 110 alpha strobe, on a reef

at Tocao island in the Philippines.

Spectacular -- all what I can say.

What a colorful image!  Thanks for the explanation.  Never seen anything quite like it.

In my previous post I misidentified these Nudibranchs as Chromodoris kuniei they are in fact the similar appearing Risbecia tyryoni. Do to the pathetically dysfunctional interface at PN I cannot go back and correct my post...... insert loud sigh here.  

:---]

This is realy spectacular,it is so sharp,detailed,  and a very unusunal creature ,great color palette  of the BG as well. It is a wow!and I join your sigh...

 A stunning image in a difficult location.

I see you're working for PIXAR now. Man, what a fascinating creature. You seem to be getting pretty good at this underwater stuff.

I actually doubt PIXAR would show this, due to the 'adult-content' of the picture...:-)

But yes, what an incredibly sharp detailed & beautiful picture it is, Gordon.

Must be really a wonderful and mesmerizing experience to swim among these, and be able to take these great photos. Lovely work!

The color is beautifully managed and lit.  I like the vignetting, which creates a theatrical feel.
