UPY  British Waters Living Together - Commended
'Among the pier legs'
Alison Pettitt

During the last summer we had some exceptionally good visibility under Swanage Pier. I am lucky to be able to dive this site often, and love how many creatures choose to make this place their home. On this dive I found a beautiful Leach's spider crab in his anemone home. I chose the camera angle to show him in the context of the pier and highlight the clarity of the water.

Judge's comment: Fantastic details on the spider crab and its host anemone, it's a perfectly timed shot with the crab exposed and the tentacles fanned out. - Alex Mustard
