UPY British Waters Macro - Runner Up
'Cuckoo wrasse head on'
Trevor Rees
Of all the fish in British Waters, a male cuckoo wrasse (Labrus mixture) takes some beating for its striking blue and orange colouration. They are therefore always a favourite subject and this one proved a cooperative individual. The Plymouth Mewstone on England’s south coast often guarantees seeing and getting close to these charismatic fish. I aimed for a straight head on composition with maximum symmetry. It took a few frames to get both eyes facing forwards and nicely in focus. Job done!
Judge's comment: The perfect position with both eyes in absolute symmetry. The tight crop works for me with the hint of the tail sticking out behind. Flawless.
