18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Underwater Bouquet
In this shot, I love how the sun shines trough the roots of the mangroves towards the dome of my camera, and the soft coral at the foreground looks like a bouquet of orange flowers. Got this shot of soft corals growing on mangrove roots, at the blue mangrove, in a few meters of water are mixed forms of life that are rarely seen side by side: marine coral and tree roots. There are many mangroves around the globe though very few are located in areas with clear water.
