A juvenile yellow goosefish swimming under a clear sky found Cape Osezaki Japan.
The sun, the downward-extending shafts of light, and the reflected patterns on the water surface are arranged in a composition that is nearly symmetrical with respect to the juvenile. However, the juvenile shines more brightly than these elements, adorned with delicate and vivid coloration.
