Though not a new image in underwater photography these days, every underwater photographer wants to get the classic Mandarin Fish mating shot in their portfolio. I got a good opportunity at this when diving at Malapascua Island in the Philippines, at the Lighthouse site, with this image being the best. You get perhaps five or six chances in a very short window of time at dusk. Image taken on the 20th September 2010 using a Nikon D200, Subtronic strobe and a 60mm macro. Camera settings were ISO 400, 1/60th f22.
