I have taken many pictures of ornate ghost pipe fish over the years. So last time I tried to challenged my self and tried to photograph them the way I haven’t yet. This is the first set of pictures this challenge produced. I call it hanging out with close friend and my aim was get as much face details as possible. Like when you are on the first date admiring every wrinkle and curve on your partner’s face and never closing the eyes even when the first kiss comes. If you are interested here are some facts about reproduction of ghost pipe fish. Their reproduction is unlike the true pipefish, in which the male broods the young, it is the female ghost pipefish that broods the eggs within large fused pelvic fins located under the body. Most species have a relatively long period spent floating around in the ocean as plankton, reaching almost adult length before they finally settle onto the reef. This means that they have a wide geographic range since they can travel long distances after they are born. They are generally found living in pairs with the smaller, skinnier of the two male and the large individual, with bigger fins, the female. They range in size from 10-15 cm. .. .. #indonesia #bali #scubadiving #divingbali #scubabali #balidiving #scubadivingbali #scubadivinglife #okdivers #divingresort #baliscubaresort #balidivingresort #thedivestyleresort #balibestdiving #divinginindonesia #padangbai #padangbaidiving #baliunderwaterphotography #nderwaterphotography #macrophototography #balimacrophotography #balirelax #padiresort #baliadventure #travelbali #travelingworld #baliphotography #balinaturelover #oceanphotography (at Bali, Indonesia)
