A yellowhead wrasse (I think) standing out on the bottom of the reef. Love its eye decorations. #MarineLife #scuba #photography #Cozumel

I believe this is a yellowhead wrasse - it's bright yellow, small, long and has little black squiggly lines behind its eyes.

Reef scene. It doesn't highlight any one creature, but I like how this captures a snapshot of the diversity found on the reef. #MarineLife #scuba #photography #Cozumel

A scene from the reef in Cozumel. Little orange gobies - I think masked or glass gobies poke out in the bottom, a banded shrimp is up in the top, a green sea urchin and bits of coral and sea algae frame the photo.

I think this snapper is being transported to a different realm. You never know what you'll capture down below the sea. #MarineLife #scuba #photography

A snapper swims by and the water seems to be taking it to a different realm in the universe, maybe teleportation or entering the a new dimension.

Just a couple of white spotted file fish doing their thing in the sea. #MarineLife #photography #scuba

I was so excited to see this - a baby slender filefish! It's only about one inch long and it completely blends in with the background. I'm not sure how big this species gets, but we saw other file fish that were two feet long, so this was very cute! #MarineLife #scuba #photography

Can you spot the blenny? It blends in pretty nicely with the sand. This is a close up of this tiny fish. #photography #MarineLife #scuba

This time is spotted something worth diving for! Camp Bay Beach, Roatan. #birds #photography

Not sure I like the way that vulture's looking at me! #birds #photography #Cozumel

A black vulture stands on the sidewalk next to some green bushes and looks slightly at the camera.

Don't worry - it eventually got down, but not before some rather awkward maneuvers! #photography #WildLife #Brooklyn

This little acrobat woke me up with screeching sounds at 6 am! Its friend ran away before I got my camera, but this one showed off its climbing skills for quite a while. #photography #WildLife #Brooklyn

A raccoon climbing on a ladder that used to be a clothes line. The ladder pokes up into the tree tops. The top of a white building and its air conditioning units are in the background. The raccoon is looking at the camera and is right side up.

It's a horrible photo, but the expressions on these two fish make me laugh every time I look at it. They seem dumbfounded by what they are seeing. #MarineLife #scuba #photography

Two chalk bass fish looking up from the sand. They are white fish with blue and brown stripes.

The fancy legs and translucent body of the Pederson cleaner shrimp. #MarineLife #scuba #photography

A small shrimp on the floor of the reef. The hind legs are long with purple specks. It's body is translucent, and it has long antennae.

With a close-up you can see the delicate blue markings that decorate the little sharpnose pufferfish. #MarineLife #scuba #photography

Close up of a sharpnose puffer fish in front of a pinkish sponge and surrounded by algae. The sharpnose puffer has a greenish body and delicate blue markings on its body, face and around its eyes, and its face has an orange tint.

Orange on orange. What appears to be an orange goby on an orange sponge next to a sharpnose pufferfish. #MarineLife #scuba #photography

A tiny orange fish - I think a goby - swims over an orange sponge. To the right a sharpnose pufferfish swims over some algae. The little blue markings stand out on the pufferfish's face, and the orange sponge seems to bring out the orange tones of the pufferfish as well.

Sometimes even a bland composition can be exciting just because you so rarely capture a decent picture of a particular type of fish. The foureye butterfly fish is one of those that I struggle to capture at all, so I consider this a success! #MarineLife #scuba #photography

A four eyed butterfly fish swimming over some coral. A mostly yellow fish, round-ish but slender body with black stripes, a black dot at the rear and black eyes, and a little snouty nose.

A simple close-up composition with a French angelfish. #MarineLife #scuba #photography

A French angelfish swims down to the bottom of the reef. Gray with yellow edges to its fins, yellow around its eyes and white around its mouth. It's swimming toward green algae and a pinkish brown barrel sponge.
