Finalist Fine Art Photographer of the Year

Vanessa Mignon Indonesia

8°16'27.6"S 115°35'37.5"E

"I was diving the Liberty shipwreck, but there were too many divers on the site," says photographer Vanessa Mignon. "I looked around for other subjects to look at. Initially I saw a couple of nice crinoids so I got closer to them. In doing so, I noticed a little porcelain crab on an anemone. There was a bit of current so it took a few attempts to get this picture because the anemone was moving and folding in different ways, and the crab was also moving. Eventually I got this picture of the crab holding on to the edge."
