BLACK LION FISH

My favorite from the trip, I was using my kit zoom lens, and I saw this large lionfish completely in the open.  I’ve been trying to get a good lionfish shot for ages, and every one I’ve ever seen is always hugging the reef or coral.  So, I slowly swam around this one, remaining between him and the nearest reef, snapping as I went, until finally I had him dead on.
