Jo Taylor won a Marelux Spectrum 1000 full color macro video light from Marelux

After being relentlessly pursued by two male stallions, this large yellow female seahorse anxiously attempts to transfer her eggs to her chosen mate at the height of a copulatory rise as the contender falls away.

Mating is difficult for inexperienced seahorse pairs to accomplish successfully and many of her bright eggs were spilt in the process. I had this rare & exciting opportunity whilst diving in the Lembeh Strait. Owing to the flexibility of compact photography, I was able to capture this special moment.
