UPY Macro - Highly Commended
'Bubble Trouble'
Nur Tucker
Anthias are ubiquitous in the Red Sea, and often overlooked. However, enchanted by their exquisite features and dazzling colours, I worked day after day to secure a great portrait. On this particular dive, homing in on a beautiful male specimen, I was initially dismayed as my dive buddy peppered the scene with air bubbles. Quick to see the potential upside beyond the initial frustration, I moved swiftly to capture a compelling background image with a strong bokeh. Having quickly opened up the aperture, my twin Retra Pro strobes enabled a high shutter speed and what, overall, emerged as a very pleasing result.
Judge's comment: A pleasing double exposure framing a handsome male anthias against an attractive background bokeh shot with a vintage lens. - Alex Mustard
