Original – Short-snouted seahorse on knotted wrack from the Oosthinder banks in the Belgian part of the North Sea. This is a studio (aquarium) shot with some of the original knotted wrack from the haul when and where the seahorse was caught. The hauls are part of a biannual monitoring programme. Note the copepods in the water that form part of its natural diet.

Reason: Good EV, good quality and a reasonable resolution. Also QI, VI and FP in Commons.
