'Pier leg life'
Kirsty Andrews

Piers seem a real attraction for marine wildlife, providing shelter and an artificial reef. This one was no different, covered in plumose anemones with a stand-out sea urchin. I liked the drama of the pier legs in this frame and the contrast between the man made structure and the soft animal life covering it.

Judge's comment: A perfectly shot, well chosen and bang on message image which this Category often struggles to attract so, if you need a hint for next year, look no further. A powerful well lit composition highlighting the power and ingenuity of man and the greater power of nature to colonise and adorn it naturally and beautifully.
