LOCATION: Misool, West Papua, Indonesia
STORY: For years, I had been wanting to make a relatively simple image of a golden damselfish set against a background of red sea whip coral. In my mind, it was more an image of a background coral with a small fish in it, rather than a photo of a fish in the coral. But on multiple trips to various South Pacific diving locations, there was always some problem with the sea whips – one branch would be broken, lack of current caused the polyps to be retracted, the damselfish was too rough… just always something to make me cringe with OCD! So when I found this little gem living in what is clearly NOT red sea whips, I had to twist my mind out of it’s rigidity, and realize that the gorgonian coral background I was searching for was indeed a different species, and was right in front of me!
