"Backlit Blenny"
The Story:
I came across this Gulf Signal Blenny (Emblemaria hypacanthus) displaying frequently on a dive in the Sea of Cortez. After approaching slowly I positioned my snoot so as to backlight the fish when its dorsal fin was fully unfurled. After just 3 attempts I was rewarded with this image.
