British macro category third place. Safe haven by Cathy Lewis (UK). Location: Plymouth, UK. “The water was thick with plankton and a strong current was funnelling small compass jellyfish towards the wreck of the Scylla. Some were host to a large number of juvenile codfish which use them for protection. The larger fry were perched on top while the smaller ones swam among the tentacles, avoiding being stung. Photographing the highly reflective silver fry was a frustrating challenge, but I have never seen so many fish crammed into such small jellies so I knew I was witnessing something rather special”.
