This is one of my favourite photos taken by Cornforth. It shows a false clown fish swimming amongst some sea anemones which is in fact a living organism, which I originally assumed was a type of plant or part of a coral reef. The fish has been placed at the centre top of the frame. The colours from both the fish and the anemone are simply stunning. The bright orange colours of the fish contrast magnificently against the paler shades of yellow,white, blue and purple. Immediately you are drawn towards the fish as the orange is the strongest colour within the photo.
Im not sure how the lighting was created in this photo but it is perfect to show off each tentacle. The scale makes the fish appear larger than what it would be in real life, I think this is because the fish is similar in size to the tentacles. Its hard to determine a foreground and background for the photo, because everything is in a 2D state. However, you can say that the fish is more in the foreground of the image.
Since 2001, Jon has explored exotic locations to photograph the unique creatures who live there. All of his images are captured in the wild.
