Great Barrier Reef photography

Description

This is old, but I'm feeling nastolgic for Australia.

I did some diving and snorkling off an island in the Great Barrier Reef, and took this little snapshot with one of those one-use underwater cameras. When scanned and the colors corrected in Photoshop, they really don't take bad pictures at all.

This anemone fish (not a clownfish, but often confused with one) is not in an anemone. Instead, he's hanging out by some staghorn coral. Unfortunately, most of it around him is bleached, i.e. dead or getting there. Global warming and pollution, doncha know. It's really sad.

I need to go back. I miss diving.

I am hoping to do some environmental activism art showing the effects of coral bleaching. I was wondering whether you give me permission to use your photo as a reference. :) Beautiful photo
