I had just had a fantastic dive on the wreck of German Cruiser SMS Dresden, she had been scuttled at Scapa Flow in 1919. Returning to the bow shot line, I found the whole area was covered with colourful plumose anemones, I was able to light these up and catch my buddy who was starting their ascent to the surface in the background.

Judge's comment: A good example, I suspect, of a shot taken for one reason becoming suited for another and that’s fine as long as it gets the message across which this does. Photographically it works too. - Peter Rowlands
