UPY 2019 British Waters Compact - Third
'Cornish Alien'
Andy Ball
At first, rockpools come across as seemingly quiet places. However, after filming with Thomas Daguerre, someone who has spent years revisiting the same rockpools, I got to know them in a very different light. Over three months of shooting, we revisited the same residents of our local rockpools week after week. This Snakelocks anemone was one of those individuals, and I wanted to capture the vibrant fluorescence of the tentacles in a unique way. I hope this image inspires more people to explore their local rockpools and fall in love with them, just as I have.
Judge's comment: I was drawn to the simplicity of this image. Perfect split with both an 'under & over'. It was yet another example of a simple image which continues to grow and grow on the eye of the viewer. In this case they happened to be my eyes.
