When life begins...

Mating mandarinfish : to spawn, the female joins the male, resting on

his pelvic fin, and the pair rises slowly about three feet above the coral

reef. At the peak of their rise, a cloud of eggs and sperm is released.

Hey you

 

Great detail that eggs stuff under the female. Well done. as always... ;-)

What i have to say? Magnific, perfect timing, composition and sharpness of detail. Impressive!

Mamma mia, Giambattista!!! E' meravigliosa! Solitamente non amo le foto subacquee perché le trovo un pò ripetitive... ma questa è sorprendente!!! Sembra uscita dritta dritta dal cartone animato "Nemo"! E che dettaglio, che brillantezza! ECCELLENTE! Sono senza parole... bravissimo! Sergio

beautiful capture

it's so tough to photograph these couples in a decent way, too little light to get fast focus, just sitting an waiting.....

 

well done

Very touch shot to get and you nailed it. Great job

Congratulations on this photo. Incredible details, perfect lighting and timing!

 

Hats off to you!!!

 

Best regards,
