This little silverside (Menidia menidia) had trapped itself under a small rock in an almost completely drained tidepool. It was probably running from striped bass or bluefish at high tide, and opted for a rocky grave rather than be eaten. There were more of them around, head down between little rocks with no way to escape once there was no water. All that we found were dead, except this one, which my son released into the open water.
These are a beautiful little fish with very translucent flesh. It almost looks fake when you look at it closely, with its silvery internal lateral line and bright white gut and gills showing through. Distinct outlines on it's back define its scales and layers of blue, green and purple flash as light refracts off it's mirror-like cheeks.

Experimented with my friends lightbox and flowers from her garden. Used a variety of Topaz plugins (Clarity, Adjust and Impression 2).
This is a Möbius strip, an interesting thing that has only one side, one edge and one twist. . . . and if you cut it along its centre line it stays in one piece.
Made from a strip of translucent plastic.
Taken on an evening walk, with the sun shining through these leaves, the light was still a bit weak so the camera chose ISO 5000.
Thank you to all who view, favorite, and comment...
