Small Sea Creatures Under the Water

There are so many positives that make this an amazing photo. It captures a very rare moment. The crab itself contrasts perfectly against the green anemone, but the red eggs separate this image from an amazing group of top 10 images.

The lighting is perfect, capturing the essential parts of the subject. The image is well-exposed.

Quite an impressive underwater scene and a creative use of light refraction. The yellow and browns contrast nicely against the nudibranchs. You achieved parallelism, vibrancy, and proper exposure with a great depth of field. Overall, a great moment with multiple hooded nudibranchs huddled together!

Wow, quite a unique photo! The frogfish blends in with the coral quite well, but the open mouth creates a stark contrast of colors that is truly jarring. The detail you were able to achieve around the edges of the mouth and the eyes in combination with the depth of field make this a very special picture.

Absolutely incredible detail of this Pygmy seahorse camouflaged with the coral. Combined with a clear macro shot, a great depth of field, and a black background, this photo has all the qualities we look for in a top underwater photo.

Stunning capture! The light and clarity of the crab is quite impressive, considering this was shot at night. The angle of the shot is perfect with both the crab's eyes looking right at you. Equally impressive is how you managed to photograph the crab without it running away from you. Your ability to capture the reds colors that dissipate so quickly underwater makes this an extra special image.
