Paul Duxfield, our competition judge:
"It was all about colour this month for me, and I was immediately attracted to Ahmed’s vibrant red picture of a Clownfish in it’s Anemone.And this shot definitely puts the red in the Red Sea. A nice diagonally composed position. With the bright colour occupying the top left, and bottom right. A great shot.
Really good also rans were the Indian Mackerel feeding from Stu Taylor, and Tilly Cavendish’s cute small Anemone Fish. And as always it was a tricky choice making my final decision. So well done Ahmed.
