Thanks, Karen! I enjoy showing not only the pretty but also the odd-looking animals I found underwater :-)
Very nice!
Hi Jellis, I must admit the fish looks a bit odd but they are actually like this. I wish I had the patience to draw them myself but in fact I prefer to make pictures of them all while scuba diving ;-)
At first it looked like a drawing and fake, then after looking at them on another site and looking back I can see it better. Nice spotting.
