It looks like a watercolor painting but it’s a real underwater pic!
Here’s how the photographer describes getting the shot:
” I spent a while in the shallows with these shy but curious Black Rockfish. I had to sit on the bottom and hold my breath for them to come closer and every time I breathed out they would scatter. The haze in the water is from a coccolithophore bloom, they’re tiny algae that grow calcium carbonate plates as armour. The water turns a milky teal when they bloom like this! ” ~ Andrew McCurdy
