Jury comments:
This vibrant glowing image of sponge spicules and sea-cucumber plates contains a dancing composition of intriguing shapes and forms, some which appear liquid and some solid. The images have been skilfully collaged and layered together into one image and show the range of wonderful forms which exist.
