RemarksI recently came across a coney fish in the golden variation. This species is a beautiful bright yellow with blue freckles around the eyes, and a rare sighting here on Grand Cayman. This one seemed curious, and allowed me to hang around it a for a bit, allowing me to edge close enough to take a portrait. No filters were used for this shot: I both angled my strobes to light just the coney's face, and used a high shutter speed, which kept the rest of the water behind it blue and provided a nice contrast to the yellow.
