Wrasse Resort

I was sad I missed that one. I'd rather have submitted one of my weird fish then a boring green coral.

My earmuff wrasse is in the running for the January POTM contest! Check him out, and while you're there cast a vote for pic #1 :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

If it were a contest as it relates to picture quality, you'd be the ringer!

I'm torn on that Princess Parrot as I had a couple of them through years past.

However, I may just...

I skipped this month's green coral contest because I don't have a macro lens. I tried taking a few pics of my trachy but they were too blurry.

tough one, 2, 11, and 17 are also legit.

I may have voted for 10 lol. Sorry Salty

Do you have any idea how hard it is to photograph a wrasse while it's zipping through the tank??? throw me a bone! :grinning-squinting-face:

even when they are "stationary". that's why I only have gifs of mine.

Multiple votes are allowed so there were others that also got my vote, but I still think your photo is the best in the group! ...both by my interest in the fish type/beauty and by knowing how hard it can be to get a good picture of a wrasse!

I use a telescopic lens. Still get good photos if I sit far away But the super close ups are out of focus.

FWIW - I trew you a bone. I hope you enjoyed it!

I was lazy and just voted for the first photo I saw ;)

I have a telescopic lens thanks for the suggestion!

 

[Mschmidt]

ok voted for you and the others I liked.

 

[Soren]

Aww thank you

I mean, if you noticed, just this Wednesday I commented on how hard it is to get good pictures of wrasses in my WrasseWednesday post!
Earmuffs are also near the top of my list for favorite wrasses, and your photograph is so perfectly in focus and shows the full, beautiful profile.

I think this is the first photo of him I have ever taken that wasn't a pure blur. And it does not speak to his coloration at all. Wrasse suck for cameras.

Agree! Wrasses and cameras do not mix. I probably take 50+ shots before I get a decent one.

Mine hate the phone. They seem to be ok if taking a picture of other fish but if I tilt phone tiny bit on them they are gone or top of tank and lights wash out the picture. I might have to tape my phone to the tank for a week

I only got this shot because I was trying to take a photo of the mushroom, not the wrasse lol

I did I made sure to. Couldn’t leave you hanging. Couldn’t let the Hawkfish take all the love. Did need to change the vote but it’s for the greater good lol.
