'Angry seahorse'
Rooman Luc
In June I heard that there was a seahorse at a certain dive site in the Eastern Scheldt, at a depth of 12m. From then on, I went looking for the seahorse every week, and eventually found it in August. It was posing so nicely around a pipe that I had ample time to photograph it with the snoot. This gives the seahorse an angry look, but that is fortunately a mere appearance.
Judge's comment: It was the two eyes with such menace which first attracted the judges. Stark, foreboding eye contact. The composition is flawless. Notice the thin black space at the top which works well with the weight of the composition.
