UPY Behaviour - Highly Commended
'Emperor among drummers'
Scott Portelli
An Emperor fish tussles for position among a school of silver drummer fish in the shallows at Lord Howe Island, Australia, competing for prime position to devour any scraps left by tourists visiting to watch this behaviour. The Emperor fish spurts a stream of water out of its mouth in an attempt to distract the other fish from a potential free meal.
Judge's comment: It was the ‘Spurt’ which first attracted me to this image. Quite unusual with a wide angle split against the mountain in the background. There is so much depth in this image. Even the clouds in the sky seem very well placed.
