Yes, but there were certain details that I didn't have time to commit to memory (markings, mostly), but I can say that one of them had the most gorgeous band of turqoise blue on the caudal fin, IIRC it was edged in black. They were in a tray heading for the packing table, and we were offered a quick look. I'll ask Bob if he got pics of them or not.

Sharkky....8) You sayin' I'm not an eyesore? Then you shoulda seen me dragging my ass in from San Diego this morning at 3am! :lol:

Len,

Where did you get the Pyleis from? If you don't mind, would you PM me the price? Do they look anything like the male Marine Center has?

I have a pair of Pyleis that I would love to share pics of if only they stopped hiding

Steve,

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Missed your post. I got mine from Sea Dwelling Creatures. Here's a headshot of one (it resembles MC's, but not as "garfed". NKT picked it up for me

John,
DOF was in-camera. I have nothing against post-process DOF, but it's a big big hassle IME

I agree...it rarely seems to come out looking at all natural. That shot is just so amazing to catch such a small, fast fish perfectly in the DOF. Definitely a 1 in a million shot!
