Planned use of negative space, like the black background in this photo, can really add to the composition of an image.

Dropping the angle of view and capturing the whip coral in the background with such a low f-stop created a very smooth and textured swath of color behind our common subject. In my imaginative mind I see a goby riding a comet!.. No comments please..

The plane of field is also something to play with when shooting this shallow. I liked the way the light played out in this image with the lavender colors. The Anemone is quite different and filled the frame nicely for this image.

As this active little fellow was winding up to yawn, I stopped down slightly to create more space for the eye to remain sharp but still exaggerate the plane of focus. The swirl is even more apparent in this fun image.

Extreme depth of field isn’t always necessary, but on a larger subject its hard to resist, especially when one is as colorful as this Hypseledoris. Backing away from your subject is an easy way to slightly increase your DOF when working with nudibranchs.
