UPY 2019 British Waters Compact - Highly Commended
'Sea Loch Anemone'
James Lynott
I spend a lot of time diving on the Scottish sea lochs as they are not only reliable all year round, but also have a huge range of habitats and diverse marine life. One of my favourite residents of the lochs as well as being a favourite underwater photography subject are Sea loch anemones (Protanthea simplex). On this particular dive in Loch Fyne I was hoping to try and get an image of a single anemone against a black background, but it is not always easy to find one standing proud on it’s own without any rocks or other anemones nearby. Thankfully I found this large individual sitting nicely on top of a worm tube.
Judge's comment: A simple theme but very well lit and isolated against all other clutter around it. The compositional weight within the frame is in balance and every single tentacle of the tube worm are in view and are contained within the the four borders of the frame. Simple but very effective.
