UPY British Waters Compact - Commended
'Perfect Protanthea'
James Lynott
Every time I dive in the sea lochs on the west coast of Scotland, I find myself collecting multiple images of these little anemones. They are so photogenic, whether they are covering a wall/boulder, or isolated against a black or green background, I don’t think I will ever tire of photographing them. This image was taken during a night dive at a regular site in Loch Long at the end of September 2023, there was plenty of choice of anemones on the boulder reef but I really liked how this one was positioned, which was perfect to be illuminated from above with a single snooted strobe.
Judge's comment: A particular favourite of mine, this well lit, beautifully delicate subject glows against the coal black background. A shining example of the capability of a compact camera in the right hands.
