Eye of the Sand
by Thomas Vignaud
Some fish, like this Lesser weever (Echiichthys vipera), are incredibly good at hiding, and only need a few seconds to get like this. And, be sure they still see you : )
Equipment: 5D2, 100mm

AMAZING! I am intrigued by unusual nature shots. This guy must be tiny based on my knowledge of ocean sand……..size, location, depth…inquiring minds want to know. Wonderful potd–it made me chuckle.

I love the color and the texture, I bet it was a difficult shot to get. Well done!

Is that the retina we can see through the pupil?!!

Hi, and thanks
This was in Marseille, Mediterranean sea. Around -17m deep. The size of the fish is around 10 cm.
Anurag, I guess it is, but it “could” as well be the reflexion of my flat port, like it happens sometimes.
