UPY British Waters Macro - Third
'Elegant Elegans'
Dan Bolt
This gorgeous Okenia elegans nudibranch is considered to be a rare species in the UK, but can be quite common around Torbay in south Devon. I came across this one crawling along the edge of a kelp frond which gave me the perfect opportunity to find angle that best shows off their outlandish colours.
Judge's comment: British Seas are often thought of as lacking in colour. This spectacular portrait of a nudibranch is brought to life by the razor sharp lighting that transforms a potentially average scene of slug on kelp into an unforgettable celebration of colour.
