Pterois volitans, also known as red or common lionfish. Picture taken at Tasik Ria, Manado, Indonesia.

A really nice shot of a lionfish - the technical quality is quite impressive (considering it was taken underwater - an environment which I believe is quite challenging for sharpness, colour and lighting). It's actually one of only a half dozen images which I've taken from wiki to serve as a desktop :)

It's hard to straighten. The fish isn't perfectly symmetrical - bigger fins on the left. SagredoDiscussione? 04:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
