UPY British Waters Macro - Commended
'Stalker in the meadow'
Dan Bolt
It was a real surprise on a late November dive to come across large numbers of these Stalked Jellyfish on one of my regular shore-dives. Usually I only ever see two or three in a year, but on this occasion my buddy and I counted well over 20 individuals all firmly holding onto blades of seagrass. Quite why so many were there at the same time remains a mystery to us, but sadly the weather stopped further diving activities before I could make more observations.
Judge's comment: You have taken every advantage of turning this jellyfish into a work of art and in my opinion this is what Underwater Photography of the Year is all about. The Stalked Jelly fish is most eye catching and many underwater shooters would ‘home In’ every time but you have decided to venture one step beyond and minimise the green blades of seagrass. Great use of compositional colours and very Arty’ indeed’.
