UPY Compact - Highy Commended
'Flying beneath the surface'
Miguel RAMIREZ
This photo was taken on Christmas Day, just before sunset, in the lagoon of Reunion Island, where I live. This lionfish appeared above the corals, it was swimming peacefully, going in search of food. I took the opportunity to try to take a photo slightly from below: to have both the reflection of the corals under the surface, and the sky colored by the sunset.
Judge's comment: In my early days, Red Sea Lionfish were the perfect subject to practise on; visually stunning and not fast swimming. This is a well timed, composed and lit image taken from exactly the right angle. Classic subject, classic image.
