'Hiding lobster'
Saeed Rashid

I found this lobster in the shallows at Kimmeridge Bay which is one of my local and favourite dive spots. I was actually photographing the boot lace weed when I noticed an inquisitive lobster popping out of this hole to see what all of the commotion was. He stayed just long enough for me to be able to capture him and this remains one of my favourite UK wide images.

Judge's comment: Viewed small this image would struggle to compete but, viewed large, it reveals so much to look at and admire. Good balanced light and a sympathetic composition completes a serene moment. - Peter Rowlands
