This one is taken during a snorkelling trip within a fringing reef off the Coast of Whitsunday Island.
The Boxfishes are a family, Ostraciidae, of squared, bony fish belonging to the order Tetraodontiformes, closely related to the pufferfishes and filefishes. They come in a variety of different colors, and are notable for the hexagonal or "honeycomb" patterns in their skin and skeletons. They swim in a rowing manner. Fish in the family are known variously as boxfishes, cofferfishes, cowfishes and trunkfishes.

Composition, POV, colors are good.
I would have maybe cropped out a little bit of space below.
It is nice to explain the conditions in which you took the pic: While diving? through a glass?
Very nice pic. TFS.
