Chromodoris annulata from the Red Sea
October 4, 2007
From: Kamal El Tawil
Dear Bill,
This Chromodoris annulata was crawling along the reef wall. It "twisted and distorted" ( in reference to your reply to my message # 20787 ) its body to move from one part of the reef to another. Thanks to your comment, I find that such twists and distortions add value to the pictures and I hope also to the Forum.
Locality: Abington reef, , 10-12 metres, Sudan, Red Sea, 14 April 2007, Reef wall. Length: 40 mms. Photographer: Kamal El Tawil.
Kindest regards,
Kamal el Tawil

Thanks for these photos. I agree with your comments about twists and distortions adding value - it allows you to see things in photos which you can only usually see in the living animal - in this case the damage to the front of the mantle and the bright purple on the underside of the anterior mantle.
In my earlier comment I was referring to a time when cameras needed expensive slide film and I had to limit the number of photos I could take - so if I had to decide between a good 'normal' shot -and a natural distorted shot, the normal shot usually one the day.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
