Great shot Alcina.

No, usually they are not up in midwater like that. They tend to hug around coral, rocks etc quite a bit. They are also very good at turning their butts toward the camera so this picture is very nice, not only a facial shot but also with a nice blue background. I have a whole bunch of lionfish shots but none nearly as nice as this
:bonk: :bawling:
OP
Thanks, Everyone - there is meant to be a second photo in here, but I screwed up loading it...Once I fix it I will probably put it in a new thread...sorry to bore you with all these lions!
Yeah, they aren't often this far off the reef. Though he was really only a little above it turns out it was enough - I am down below with the camera back pressed into the sand and aiming up trying to not get the reef below him! I'd like to get closer and fill the frame more, but it's hard to get him without chopping bits off from this position!

I think the expanse of water helps make the photo. Really gives it that floating in mid water feel, even if he was kinda close to the reef.....can't tell it!
Thanks for the contortions...they paid off!
