“I was photographing a school of French grunts when the trumpetfish eased in front of the camera, trying to feed on the smaller grunts. It scared the school, which instantly dispersed, and I was left with a trumpetfish picture. I had only one opportunity for the shot because I was extremely close and, when the flash fired, the trumpetfish spooked and swam away.”
