Thanks, Alexander. I took the shot in the wild - it was at a depth of around 15 metres at Shark Point, Clovelly (Sydney).

Love the picture of the weedy sea dragon ( Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) grows to a mature length of 18 inches (45cm) one of my fav sea creatures. I am so flippin jealous you got so close to one.

Score 7.5/10 from the Score me underwater group
I like the shot, nicely framed with the weedy isolated against the blue sea even if is is turned away from you a little (but don't they always). The head is in good focus even if the tail looks a bit soft. However, the ones I am used to diving with are not as brilliantly coloured. To my eye only, it seems a bit overstatuated, bright and sort of too orange.

Magnificent!

Amazing creature - beautifully colored. One small recommendation - if you have photoshop, you might want to consider a touch of noise reduction on the background; otherwise this is a great shot.
