UPY  British Waters Macro - Commended
'Scorpion Eyes'
Henley Spiers

Living proof that British seas are far from drab and colourless: this long-spined sea scorpion has adopted a vivid purple shade as it seeks to blend into its environment. A skilled, lie-in wait predator, the sea scorpion relies on camouflage to lure its prey into a false sense of security.

Judge's comment: Mean and moody captures the character of this predator, while its colours simply stun us. Quality portrait.
