Stunningly beautiful, this blue faced angelfish seemed totally ambivalent of my presence. Using my macro lens I was able to get close enough to photograph not just the fish itself but the intricate detail of its pattern and fins. In this image I wanted to capture both the pectoral fin on the side and the blue "eye" above its tail fin at the rear. The "eye" exists to confuse predators as to which way the fish is looking as most predators tend to approach by stealth to the rear of their prey.
