UPY Behaviour - Commended
'Cat shark laying'
Filippo Borghi
The story behind this photo was a stroke of luck having gone to look for and photograph Mediterranean cat sharks, but during my deep dive I noticed in a rock a cat shark that was moving and swimming in a circle on a sea fan. As I got closer, I immediately understood what he was doing and I quickly got the camera ready to try and capture that very special moment of the mother shark laying its egg.
Judge's comment: I had to push a bit for this image which has no fast moving action but it is a well observed, composed and lit moment in a life cycle.
