The Story:

While visiting one of the top spots for muck diving in Anilao, Philippines, I was lucky to find this seahorse. At home, I had built a DIY solution to create an effect that resembles a sun or a fireball. The seahorse turned out to be a perfect subject to test this effect. The thorny seahorse was very cooperative, allowing me to capture the backlit image I had envisioned.
