'Lemons'
Mika Saareila

I wanted to photograph a Lemon fish couple with backlight and bokeh balloons. The Dive into Lembeh dive guide found a suitable target and placed the light behind it, and I could take the picture I wanted :)
Background backscatter and backlighting did add nice bokeh balloons to the picture :)

Judge's comment: Beautiful image and very well executed. What draws me most is the subtle lighting of the two lemon fish. Great eye contact and perfect exposure in the immediate foreground. The bokeh balloons in the background are also perfectly illuminated.
