This time a shot of a Picasso Trigger Fish, also taken in the Barcelona aquarium. I find this one of the most subtle colour compositions of nature. Although there may be more sensational salt water fishes this is for me a wonderful combination of in itself dull colours which together are very beautiful.

The Picasso Fish was given his name by the Berlin Aquarium. It is also called humu-humu-nuku-apuaaa by the natives of Hawaii.

In the wild the Picasso Fish can grow to 12-13 inches. It eats various crustaceans.

On the following site you can find a lot more detailed information on the Picasso Trigger Fish: Picasso Trigger Fish,

The shot was taken at 1600 ASA. I postprocessed this shot as usual (Levels, crop and USM) and in addition I pulled the shot through Noise Ninja. Which I learned recently to be a good noise reducer. See the WS of 'letr' on the shot of the Scorpion Fish.

Still good quality for 1600 ASA, I ussually don't post 800 asa shots because there to much noise,I wouldn't mind seeing the ooriginal to , to compare your pp Jan..I ran this image trough NI to see what more it could do..for the BG its ok, but for the details on the fish it is less..

Lovely shot with great colors and detail. Besides a bit of noise, the composition is good. Leon did an excellent workshop to remove the noise. Well taken

Another first for me. I have not seen this yet. Lovely colours, great take. Nice note too. Thanx Jan.

I like this critter, a very good exposure and colours.

Definitively a job of Picasso! Great colours and contrasts, well taken Jan!
