Lion fish?

Pretty happy with this deep underwater shot this morning. Macro and close up underwater photography is pretty challenging .
This is the low res image transferred to the phone so hoping the original will be sharper- no computer here to test that out. Will have to wait til home!

What a fabulous shot, how wonderful to see one in the wild. I have only seen a lion fish in a tank at our local shark and ray centre.

Such an interesting fish. I like the lines and colors and patterns and textures.

A wonderful capture indeed. Great color and a good position to get all of those spines (rays?) of the fish.

It looks beautiful on my screen. The legs are like neon.

@ludwigsdiana I think you might be right Diana, I saw a couple of fish on a later dive that were a bit different and might be the real lion fish. Haven't checked my shot of them yet - but they were in a dark overhang and my lights weren't working.
