I have a picture of my favorite wrasse, but since I've already won this in a previous month I won't post any.

Same. I’m gonna post a non winner anyway just to keep it rolling.

I have the Nikon 200mm f/4 tele-macro lens. It has a working distance of ~1.5 ft. This allows me to sit farther back so I don't distract the fish. Still, I have to shoot at a pretty high shutter speed. For this image, the meta data shows the following:

Forgot to say, GO STARS!!!!!!! Khudobin is really shaping up to be a decent goalie.
