Master of disguise

by Ricardo Ferreira

I love being underwater and being able to capture this amazing world so unknown to most of people. Crocodile fish is probably one of my favorite subjects in this environment. They are really masters of disguise blending perfectly with its surroundings, and take this skill to a whole new level by having fringes of skin to break up the outline of the eye, making it much harder for their prey (and us) to spot them.
