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.
