UPY Compact - Highly Commended
'The Orchid'
ManBd
This juvenile Cyrece bourbanica is the most difficult subject for me to shoot because at a first glance the nudibranch looks transparent. To get something transparent to pop out I had to make sure the light source is close to the subject so the details are revealed. The best time to shoot is sunset when it's slightly darker. Then all the colours at the tip of the wings will stand out.
Judge's comment: A tiny and difficult subject captured in minute detail with a mastery of technique, allowing us to enjoying seeing this rare creature in all its splendour.
