UPY British Waters Macro - Highly Commended
'Bobtail squid'
Atanas Petrov
I regularly dive the wrecks and reefs on the east coast of England, and I heard from fellow divers that bobtail squid (Sepiola atlantica) had been seen very often on the reef at West Runton, Norfolk. I wanted to observe and take photos of this charming little marine animal and managed to organise a few night dives in the summer of 2019 in the area. On the last dive, I had not just enjoyed an abundance of their presence, but also managed to take this photo.
Judge's comment: Without reading the authors ‘back story’ I would have assumed this image was taken somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Not so! How wrong would I be. Norfolk UK! The square crop is perfect the squid lighting and composition likewise.
