UPY 2018 Macro - Highly Commended
'Black-Saddle Snake Eel'
Marchione dott. Giacomo
TK3 dive site, looking for some organism to photograph, when from the sandy bottom comes the muzzle of a eel Moray eel (Black-Saddle Snake Eel (Ophichthus cephalozona) and around her a shrimp scavenger (Periclimenes venustus). The shrimp rises on the muzzle of the moray eel and balances like an acrobat on it, for a unique photo and for a unique duet.
Judge's comment: Snake Eels are common around Lembeh, Shrimps also. It get's better when the shrimp is around the Eel. Even better when it reaches on top. But then, not only does it give the viewer perfect eye contact... It goes on to dance for it's supper. I'm quoting the shooter 'A Unique Photo for a Unique Duet'. I'm sure much patience paid a part with this image.
