Camouflaged flatfish in seagrass

  • Wildlife
  • Top-down

Top-down habitat shot: flatfish across dark seagrass in the upper-left, pale sandy openings to the right. Mottled pattern is meant to resemble vegetation, so global contrast would harshen grass and noise without separating the fish.

FiveMeters restoration of Camouflaged flatfish in seagrass: Brown-olive flatfish mottling becomes readable without defeating its camouflage in dark grass.

What FiveMeters recovered

Brown and olive return to the fish while cream rings and fine mottling stay distinct. Surrounding grass recovers deeper green-grey blades; exposed sand returns paler, balanced independently of the subject.

Still visible

The fish remains partly concealed by crossing blades, as in the original scene. Coarse noise, suspended haze and the soft upper-right area stay visible.
