Location: Tulamben, Indonesia
Description: A translucent shrimp glows within the folds of a green tunicate in the volcanic waters of Tulamben, Indonesia. These small marine animals create shelter for tiny creatures living in the muck diving habitats often overlooked by divers. Using careful backlighting, the photographer revealed the shrimp’s golden eyes and delicate body, transforming a hidden reef resident into a jewel-like portrait.
