One of a Kind - Frankland Islands, Far North Queensland
One of a Kind captures a vivid underwater moment centred on a patch of staghorn coral, where a single bright yellow damselfish stands out at the heart of the composition. Surrounded by smaller reef fish and intricate coral structures, the scene is illuminated by soft beams of sunlight filtering down from the water’s surface, creating a sense of depth and movement. This striking marine photograph highlights the delicate balance and diversity of reef ecosystems, where individual life forms can become the focal point within a thriving community. This image was awarded first place in the underwater category of the 2025 Wet Tropics Waterways Photography Competition, where it also received the overall competition winner title.
