Bluestripe snapper
Tricky to keep steady enough for these types of shots. Xeno shrimp
The orbicular burrfish seemed very much at home in this old paint can
I particularly liked the colour contrasts of the anemone and waited until the anemonefish dropped into frame
The Giannis D is a great wreck to photograph with its dramatic resting position and relatively shallow water, Tokina 10-17 and magic filter

Soft Coral Crab
Now, here's a really strange one! Phillodesmium briareum
I was really fascinated with this nudi's rudimentary eyes. Tambja morosa

shortlistedShortlisted!

I had a great time with a group of Lionfish and wondered how they might look in black and white
The Spanish Dancer has to be one of the most thrilling of nudibranchs to encounter. Taken with Nikon 17-55 at 38mm, f18, 1/125
I was fascinated with this Stargazer's tongue lure and spent 20 minutes or so with it as it tried to capture passing prey

shortlistedShortlisted!
I stayed with this Blacktip grouper for quite a while as he flitted from one coral to another, but eventually it got used to me enough so that I could get close
