Taken with a Sony Cybershot. I shot the photo on a recent dive and then the little fish followed me around for the remainder of the dive. I feel the shot really captured the fish's curiosity and fearlessness. A surprise it came out as well as it did, with bad light and being my first attempt at u/w photography. Photo was taken at Half Moon Bay, Hobart, Tasmania.
