“Feeling Blue“
The Story:
This photo shows a juvenile Taylor’s Pygmy Leatherjacket (Brachaluteres taylori) that we spotted during a dive around Bangka island, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Those tiny fish belong to my favourite underwater critters and I always try to get a photo whenever I see one. They are not only very small but also very shy and moving all the time, and you need to be patient to get a photo. We highlighted this cutie using a snoot torch and a blue coloured torch for the background.
