A great photograph not only informs our understanding of the subject,
but also engages our emotions. The emotion generated by this image is
powerful indeed, evoking a primal state of terror. At the same time, the
composition is well arranged, focused, lit, and exposed, with a pleasing
color palette..

RUNNER UP: MARC CASANOVAS
S$580 OG Expedition voucher for Cenderawasih Bay, Cuba or Maldives
plus Nautilus Lifeline
This image combines both an interesting and rarely seen behavior with
vivid, saturated colors, and a near-perfect composition, featuring all of the
“golden rules” of composition: rule of thirds, diagonal lines, leading lines,
and even an S-curve of sorts. The focus is tack-sharp on the mollusc's eye,
and the eye of the viewer is drawn irresistibly to that cold-blooded stare,
engaging the audience in a direct conversation with an invertebrate nearly
as alien to us as they come on this planet.
