Patrick Désormais won a Marelux Apollo III Strobe from Marelux
The Story:
During a dive in Zeeland, I encountered this beautiful Rhizostoma pulmo near the surface. It was a sunny day, and I was able to play with the sunlight to capture this photo, which showcases this magnificent 50cm jellyfish specimen. The black and white processing highlights the animal’s texture against the murky, dark water, creating a black background.
