Pigmy seahorse

Less then 2 cm long, lives well camouflaged on the sea fans ; thank

you for critiques

I like this one a lot, congratulations, nice shot.

3/3 raters, please give me a constructive criticism: unattractive subject, bad composition, out of focus, incorrect lighting ?

Very nice! Well don!

A very little host, great sharpness, details, subject... A lot of time to shot probably...

 

How is it possible to rate 4/4 a photo like this? boh

 

Great, Thank you to share

Thank you Luca for the kind words

people who rate this a 3 have no clue how hard these shots are to get.

try focussing on a 5mm subject which is camouflaged so good that you have a hard time spotting it with the naked eye.

and now do this while you have goggle on, and try to remain on the same spot in a mild current.

 

your photo is beautiful! composition, colors, DOF, all excellent

Great Shot! Nice coloring and good composition. I have seen so many pictures where uw photogs have over saturated the pink coloring in the seahorse. This is a very hard shot to get. I have several images of these miniature seahorses on my trip to Bali and Lembeh last November, 2010. These little guys are so difficult to see that you actually need someone to point them out while looking through a macro lens, and even then you have to search to finally see one. I can't believe anyone would rate this 3, this is definitely 10.
