UPY Portrait - Highly Commended
'Unicorn goby'
Yazid Shaari
This interesting species was only described by scientists in 2019. It was a joy to photograph this adorable individual because of how cooperative it was, as well as the spectrum of poses and reactions it displayed. In one hour dive, I enjoyed observing so many different emotions from which I picked the astounded gesture to be my candidate shot for UPY 2023.
Judge's comment: Unicorn gobies are a newly described fish, despite living in the shallows of the popular Red Sea. Their tiny size allowed them to remain unknown, but does not diminish their attitude.
