3rd Place Portrait

“Home Alone”
The Story:
Pregnant Denise’s Pygmy Seahorse (Hippocampus Denise) is observing the underwater life pass by its coral fan home window.
The seahorse was very calm, enjoying our quick session.
What made me feel special when I looked at the scene was that the polyps of the fan coral were nicely open – not only adding to the beauty of the photo, but also proving no one was harassing it.
