Pink Anemone fish

While anemone fish are common in the Philippines, they are notoriously frustrating to photograph as they rarely stay still! They dart through the tentacles of their host in frenzied patterns.
For this shot I was able to get down to the same level as the fish, and with a relatively fast shutter speed, low ISO and small aperture, I could create a black ground to capture the subject against. Through patience, I was able to compose a picture with one of the fish looking at me and a pleasing profile of the other.
