Judged by Kristin Anderson who says:

Excellent dramatic lighting creates a striking mood and I love the texture on the eel. Light on both eel eyes and on the shrimp to pull its colour works a treat. Waiting for the shrimp to be in place and the eel’s closed mouth was a great choice.

Filip Staes
I started diving in 1992 and photography became a part of my life around 1997. I made my first underwaterphotos in Sharm El Sheikh with a rented Nikonos. In 2000 I began competing in underwater photography contests. After 25 years in the water I’m still addicted to the underwaterworld. I photograph with a Nikon D7100 in a Hugyfot housing. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I do 😉
