UPY Marelux Macro - Commended
'Enter the dragon'
Stefano Scortegagna
Underwater macro photography is my passion and the Philippines offer an extraordinary quantity and variety of biodiversity that is ideal for these kinds of pictures. For this reason, I am a regular visitor. Every dive always serves up something wonderful to photograph, but this time I was very lucky. It was the second dive of the last day of holiday, and my guide discovered this extraordinary dragon shrimp. It was a subject I had been wanting to photograph for a long time. I'm very happy.
Judge's comment: Dragon shrimp are tiny, but dramatic crustaceans, never more so than this large female captured here on the coral where it will spend its entire adult life.
