Hovering goby - some underwater macro

[pooley]

Just had a few dives in the Red Sea. My dive guide mate who is also a keen photographer set me a challenge of getting a good shot of a hovering goby - about half an inch long and translucent - as they are sometimes difficult to approach and flit around constantly. I found one where there was a small black background and poor Moustafa soon regretted setting the challenge as he had to float around aimlessly until I got my shot!

Quite chuffed with this if I do say so myself!
