3rd place Young Photographer of the Year

Jake Brandwine Bali, Indonesia

This super macro image shows a vibrant goby against a blue background that complements the orange hues of the goby. "The goby's eye coincidentally blended with the background," says Brandwine. "Though I initially wanted a head-on shot with both eyes in focus, the angled perspective beautifully complemented the background."
