Honorable Mention Nudibranch
Cédric Péneau
“Ms. Elegant“
Cédric Péneau won a bottle of Li Lé Blue Watersports Hair Care for Divers!
The Story:
Bornella anguilla is a very elegant nudibranch, well known for its capacity to swim like an eel, hence its name. It is not common where I live so I was delighted to find it during a night dive, seeing it moving and raising its head as is pictured in this shot. The night conditions and a fast shutter speed helped me get a black background, which puts the slug’s colors and patterns in their best value.
