From Paul Duxfield, our competition judge:
Competition time again.
And i’m here looking forward to my impending Red Sea trip, and your pictures are ramping up my excitement for when I can be shooting my own pictures of one of my favourite places to dive and make memories.
Ok, i’ve been through my initial sort and have come down to the final few for this month.
I’m loving the two Moray pics, Thomas Bolle’s picture of the cleaning shrimps on the head of the giant Moray is a great behavioural shot, and the shot by Laszlo Maraczi of the yellow mouthed Moray is very dramatic, and really caught my eye.
However my favourite picture of this month is a very common but often overlooked creature, to be seen everywhere around the world, the LizardFish, which to me always look like tiny dinosaurs.
So the well executed picture of this Lizardfish against a contrasting black background, positioned on the diagonal immediately caught my attention.
And so I’ve chosen this as the winner this month.
Well done Ole.

Duxy is on hand to share tips and information, troubleshoot individual photography issues, escort early morning and late afternoon dives, and give talks on specific subjects. The 2021 Red Sea Photo Camp with Duxy and Alphamarine Photography has been postponed and will now be held in Shagra from November 30- December 11 2021 - full information.
