A cleaner shrimp perches lightly among the soft, waving tentacles of the sea anemone. This image was taken while scuba diving in Lembeh Strait (Indonesia).

Hi Sandipan,
Wow! This is such an interesting image. At first I thought there was something glass (man-made) in the anemone, and in the thumbnail, I thought it was microscopic cells of some sort.
I don’t know if it is possible to control the whites in the shrimp, but I suspect those might not print well. Of course, this is a fantastic web image, and printing might not be your goal.
Eager to see other’s responses here,

This is very beautiful, Sandipan. I think the whites would be all right for printing with maybe a small reduction in highlights. Most of them look like they have a slight color tint. The anemone is just wonderful and the image tells a great story.
Brilliant. Such bold colours for the deep blue sea. The shrimp looks like it is electrified in the anemone. Is it really this bright or did you highlight the subject?
Thanks Marylynne, Dennis and Laura for your valuable feedback.
@madd_laura It was a vibrant underwater world with fascinating colors. I processed the image a bit but the original color was really bright. Thanks for stopping by.
Sandipan: FRAME FILLING FANTASTIC! Your anemone shots are just flat out beautiful. A unique subject superbly captured. >=))>
What @Bill_Fach said. This is amazing. For one who doesn’t swim I am enjoying your underwater shots. Very well done! 
It is so beautiful and so colorful !
I may place shrimp diagonally to make it strong compositionally.
It’s a gorgeous image. What an interesting-looking shrimp! I’d maybe consider cropping a little, and I agree about bringing down the highlights a bit. But these are really minor suggestions. It’s a really great capture.
fascinating abstract. Nice patterns. Really well seen.
@Bill_Fach @Shirley_Freeman @JRajput @canan @David_Schoen Many thanks. Appreciate the feedback.
