SITANA PONTICERIANA developes this beautiful fan below his throat during these days.., this particular sitana has yet to develope it cmopletely.

Oh that is a nice pose. The colours are nice. If possible a lower angle would have enhanced the composition further. Any particular reason for this pose? Thanks for sharing.

I think it was trying to scare me away...

Very interesting behaviour. Beautiful colours and very well captured.

Nice. Interesting behaviour. I like the colours. A vertical framing would have been good too.

Cheers,

Lovely. I like the compo and the colours. Was a lower angle possible?

This pose is a part of the sitana's courtship ritual. The gular fan becomes brightly coloured only in the breeding season. This pose is also adopted to warn rivals, but I'm not sure whether it would do that to a human enemy.

Lovely image Jit, the colors have come really well and the pose is interesting.

thanks for the comments...

Nice display of behaviour. A vertical would have been good as well. Could you get a lower angle shot as well?
