Well,
I could post all of my usual comments to your photos---fantastic, just beautiful, wonderful, ---but I have already used those.
Need to find a good word to really cover your amazing underwater photos-----I really LOVE seeing them.
My favorite is the first one because of the expression on his/her face.
Thanks
Diane

Interesting photos, Ken - and beautiful, too.
Just as Diane likes the expression of fish #1,
I especially like the flirtatious look of that juvie angel fish.

Nice selection of images, Ken.
It hard to decide on a favorite as they are all different (well except the first two).
But I'm definitely partial to that longnose hawkfish one. There's a bit of a sense of mystery in it as the fish is coming out of the shadow. And the
eye expression adds to it. I also like the framing as it separates the 'known world' from the 'darker side'.
Perhaps I'm reading too much into it but that's how I see it today.

Thanks VERY much for all of the nice comments!
bajaboolie these are all old images (10-15 years). Every so often I get on a kick and scan some old slides.

BTW this is what that little Clarion angelfish grows up to look like. I think they are one of the world's most beautiful fish:

Thanks---what a contrast. That adult has a Mona Lisa look--it is a beautiful fish.

Thanks, Ken, for the great pictures. I've learned what to expect when I see your name beside a new thread in the Baja Photo Gallery Forum. New photos
or old ones, bring 'em on... without fail they are a beautiful burst of colour that I look forward to and enjoy. Much appreciated.

Thanks Kate. Those are definitely remoras and not ****
