UPY  Macro - Commended
'Bling'
Lilian Koh

It is a slow black water night in Anilao where there is not many subjects in sight and mostly not suitable to use this foreground bokeh technique. I was drifting along the current until this juvenile wunderpus octopus (wunderpus hotogenicus) came along at around 25m depth.

Judge's comment: There’s no doubt that black water images are very appealing visually but after you’ve seen dozens of them they can look very similar so this very clever take lifted the judges eyes and got it promoted.
