The Lumpfish or Cyclopterus lumpus. A fish which lack a swimming bubble. Like to sit on rocks, trying mimicing the background. My favourite fish! They are very clumsy colorful and playful.

Not only that this is a good shot with superb exposure, it also wakes us all up and reminds us what we are diving and shooting for. A very clear message in your photo, Roland....and this makes it a well deserved winner-shot :-)
