Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas. This big, homely grouper hovered for the longest time, barely moving. Also perfectly still is the sawfish lying on the lagoon floor.

Terrific shot, especially through thick glass! He's giving you his best expression...the sawfish really adds interest to the image. Nice one.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Great shot Thad! I'm glad that thick glass does not only protect this 'friendly looking big boy' but we as well, lol.

Thanks for posting this shot, Thad. It's heartwarming to know that there is something on this earth that is uglier than I am! LOL. Be that as it may, this is a wonderful shot of the "Big Boy"....especially through the thick glass. Well done, sir!

I like the positioning of them both in relation to the capture.

No wonder he's got the sad face...sharing a tank with a Sawfish can't be much fun. Another fine shot through the glass, Thad.

It reminds me of Winston Churchill, Thad. All it needs is a cigar.
The DOF, (detail of fish) is really good.

Great close up Thad. I really like the sawfish in the background - gives the entire photograph character.

He may be ugly but grouper is a mighty tasty fish - another excellent through the glass shot Thad.

Oh my he looks mad but also giving you a great look at his size and colouring. Maybe he's staying still so the shark behind him won't notice him, lol.

So how did you convince it to get in the tank with the sawfish? A good capture of the fish, Thad. Nice details and lighting in the photo.
