Honorable Mention
Renata Romeo
Behind the Shot: During a dive in Sharm el Sheikh, I saw an old chain and my attention was caught by a whitebelly damselfish circling around it. When I was close enough, I saw the eggs on it, so I understood that he was oxygenating and protecting them, ensuring reproductive success, and I took some photos of this loving parental male care behavior.
Gear: Canon EOS 70D in an Easydive Leo3 housing; EF 100mm lens; two Sea&Sea YS-D1 strobes
Settings: f/7.1; 1/200; ISO 100
