Paul Duxfield, our competition judge:
"‘Spectacular’ is what I thought when I saw the winning picture this month.There were a lot of great shots as always but this one by Ahmed Helal really shone. Apart from being a great behavioural shot showing a pride(?) of Lionfish preparing to feast upon aschool of bait fish, it’s also beautifully composed and lit too. A worthy winner and proof that the shooter really knows his subject which is vital if you're to rise above in underwater photography."
Paul “Duxy” Duxfield
