UPY Compact - Highly Commended
'Enter the Dragon'
Ipah Uid
I have always been facinated by crustaceans. The first time I saw a picture of a dragon shrimp, my mind was saying this looks like a dragon ! I wanted the picture to be different so I opted by using a blank CD-rom with a lot of my kids toy bedazzled sequence glued on to it. I made sure the CD was far enough so I could get a nice bokeh affect making sure I kept my aperture low and my hands extremely steady.I had another torch on low light but close to the cd so the colours would pop out. It took me about 20 min to achieve what I've envisioned and I'm glad it turned out well.
Judge's comment: The author has created a superb background in which to place a pedestal for the dragon shrimp to settle. Who would have thought to use a CD-rom as a background. Excellent image.
