A Picture We Love: I See You

A tropical fish "smiles" in this week's picture we love.

A small fish in the Red Sea (map) poses for the camera in this picture submitted to National Geographic's Your Shot community on March 3. Photographer Dmitry Marchenko captured what looks like a mischievous smile on this small denizen of a coral reef off the coast of Egypt.

"This frame looks almost like the product of childhood imagination. It's a nice reminder of how wonderful nature is."—Ben Fitch, associate photo editor

"It seems clear that the photographer paid close attention to color and focus."—Chris Combs, news photo editor
