Metre Long Fish, Great Barrier Reef, Australia

A Metre of Fish

A fish (species indentification?) found off Hook Island in the Whitsunday Islands over part of the Reef. We were in a small motorised boat and it came right up to the edge so the photo was taken with a normal non-underwater camera.

Canon EOS 450D 1/200 second F/5.6 ISO 100 53 mm

Not the most beatiful fish but a stunning photo.

He looks like Nemo I think you found him.
Very unusual shot . He looks almost surreal.
